About Marian

Marian Maguire is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a Master of Social Work from Boston University and more than 20 years of clinical experience. She practices with an eclectic, client-focused stance, blending solution-focused strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, and elements of rational-emotive counseling to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Marian has worked with people facing a wide spectrum of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career transitions, disability-related issues, grief, trauma, and questions of identity and intimacy. Her style emphasizes collaboration - she partners with clients to set goals, identify practical steps, and build skills that support meaningful change.

Taking that first step toward change often requires courage, and Marian offers support, empowerment, and mentorship throughout the process. She aims to create a respectful, goal-oriented space where clients can explore strengths, address obstacles, and move toward a fuller life. Marian welcomes those ready to begin work on personal or interpersonal concerns and looks forward to supporting their progress.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Marian Maguire

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, collaborative relationship in which the client’s goals and perspectives guide the work. It helps people who want a respectful, empathetic space to explore feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a structured approach that identifies patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches practical skills to change them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their motivation for change, useful for making life transitions or addressing stuck patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marian works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to suit individual circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care across life changes while still engaging in focused, goal-directed work with a licensed therapist.
