Marjorie Alexander, LCSW

Marjorie Alexander is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois with five years of professional experience. She focuses on supporting people who are managing stress and anxiety, seeking greater motivation, building self-esteem and confidence, or navigating significant life changes. Marjorie approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and care plans to reflect the specific needs and goals of the individual.

Her practice emphasizes practical, collaborative work that honors where someone is starting from and where they want to go. Marjorie tailors therapeutic dialogue and treatment plans rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, and she aims to create an encouraging environment for the often difficult first steps into care. She recognizes that beginning therapy can require courage and expresses pride in those who reach out for support.

Approaches that guide online therapy and support

Marjorie draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the pace and focus of care. This approach helps people who want to feel heard and build confidence in their own decisions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it is often useful for addressing stress, anxiety, and problems with motivation.

In addition, emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) can be used to explore core emotional experiences and improve emotional awareness and connection in relationships. EFT is helpful for people working through family or relationship strains and for those seeking deeper emotional insight.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. As a licensed professional, Marjorie works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Marjorie offers flexible options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so clients can choose formats that fit their schedules and comfort levels. These methods make consistent care more accessible for people juggling work, family, or geographical constraints.
