About Marilyn Babcock
Marilyn Babcock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 27 years of experience. As an LCSW she holds a credential that recognizes advanced training to provide psychotherapy and counseling, and she combines that training with a practical, collaborative approach to help people move through difficult chapters of life.
She works from the view that effective counseling requires both the clinician's skill and the client's willingness to look honestly at themselves and their circumstances. Marilyn offers steady support and guidance as clients explore the concerns that bring them to counseling, and she focuses on helping people rebuild self-care, deepen self-awareness, and develop sustainable coping skills.
Her clinical specialties include stress and anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues related to compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric matters, codependency, communication difficulties, hospice and end-of-life counseling, life purpose and midlife transitions, seasonal affective disorder, and women's issues. Marilyn integrates Jungian therapy, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic approaches to tailor treatment to each person's needs.
In sessions she emphasizes honest conversation, probing questions, and practical takeaways. Home assignments may include reading, reflection, mindfulness practices, and journaling to help clients process insights and apply new skills between meetings. Her background as a mindfulness educator and her many years in practice aim to ease emotional burdens and help people reconnect with a sense of well-being.
Marilyn asks that prospective clients be willing to engage actively in the work. Appointments are scheduled directly by her once the intake and screening process is complete and mutual fit is established. She is currently accepting clients and has openings on Wednesdays between 9 am and 2 pm Eastern, 6 am and 11 am Pacific. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and in-app messaging, and does not currently work with international clients.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit for You?
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can really help with everyday challenges. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, many people find that working with a therapist remotely can be as effective as meeting in person.One of the clearest advantages is flexibility. Individuals can choose the way of meeting that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access care from different locations.
Licensed professionals bring their training and therapeutic approaches to remote work, and clients can request a different therapist at any time if they feel a change would be helpful. For people seeking consistent support alongside their daily responsibilities, online therapy provides a practical option for engaging in meaningful, skill-based work with a therapist.
