About Marlene

Marlene Fannon is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio who brings 20 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of mental health and substance use challenges. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Ohio University and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from The Ohio State University. Marlene has worked with individuals, couples, and groups in person, by video and phone, and through chat and messaging, helping with stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss, LGBT concerns, self-esteem and motivation, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, and other mood and life transition concerns.

Marlene draws on evidence-informed methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy, and she often blends approaches to match each person’s needs. She believes people are the experts of their own stories and works collaboratively to build on strengths and goals. Marlene aims to offer scheduling flexibility, typically responds to messages within 24 hours, and can arrange sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging to fit clients’ preferences and availability.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person’s values and goals guide the work - it helps when people want to explore identity, relationships, and self-worth at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-oriented approach that examines patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders through specific strategies and skill building. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and awareness practices that can reduce reactivity to stress and improve coping with grief, trauma, and chronic worry.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marlene collaborates with each person to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she can combine methods when that serves recovery and growth. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what works for the individual.

Online therapy with Marlene is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, adapt to caregiving or work commitments, and select the format that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
