Such a relief to be able to share my views on a holistic approach to mental health care. I know I need to focus on my medical/physical, mental/emotional; and spiritual! needs in order to stay healthy.
More about Marie
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) for the state of Florida. I retired about a year ago and found myself a bit, well, bored. Since I've enjoyed coaching and counseling over the last 15 years, I decided to return to my first love, helping others. I work with individuals, 18+ regarding dissonance in relationships, mood, environmental circumstances, maladaptive behavior issues related to one's health, and developing good communication skills ( a favorite of mine).
The foundation of my therapy is Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) simply meaning that what we think influences how we feel which impacts how we behave. So to change any behavior or feeling, we first need to address our thinking. I use a solution focused approach where together we focus on the issue(s) most important to my client. My goal in the counseling process is to assist you in improving the quality of your life. In my counseling environment, we walk together through those areas of life creating difficulty for you and you will learn how to manage, resolve, and reconcile those issues so you can enjoy the quality of life that is meaningful to you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Marie has been very understanding,and has greatly helped me.
I am immensely grateful for the transformative experience I’ve had with my therapist, Marie. Her compassion and insightful approach has been instrumental in guiding me through challenging times. With genuine empathy, she has created a safe space for me to explore my thoughts and emotions, fostering a sense of trust and openness. Her expertise and dedication to my well-being, have empowered me to navigate personal growth and develop valuable coping mechanisms. I appreciate her ability to listen attentively and provide constructive guidance, making each session, a source of support and encouragement. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist who can truly make a difference.
Marie is a very intelligent person and into problem solving. She takes all the content I give her and is able to home in on what needs to be addressed. I think I got very lucky in choosing her at this most difficult time in my life. She has been a great source of strength for me and has helped me navigate this journey, while making sense of my feelings and challenges…and validating my feelings at the same time.
Marie was attentive and great gave advice and perspective. She also gave worksheets which I really enjoyed.
I was very nervous about therapy and opening up to someone I don't know. I knew I needed to talk to someone but have been repeatedly hurt by people who are supposed to be my family and people who I thought were friends whenever I try to talk about my life. I truly needed to feel like someone was in my corner and really needed help navigating several issues I have been facing. Marie is such a kind, warm, inviting person I immediately felt like she was someone I could trust and immediately felt comfortable with. She was always there to listen and offer sage advice. I truly felt like she cared and am so thankful to have met her.
Marie is a God sent. Just what I needed in a therapist.
Marie is very sweet and understanding and gives real solutions
Marie listened from our first interaction. She was respectful and interactive without interrupting or cutting me off, other than to ask for clarification to something specific. I felt she really cares about me and my situation.
I very much enjoyed our first meeting. The only reason I didn’t give Marie the highest ratings across the board as I think it makes sense to have a session or few more before I make any other judgements.
Marie is a sweet, thoughtful and inspirational therapist. She has calmed me down thru some sad and tuff times. I look forward to our conversations and I rake her input in high regards. She helps.me see different versions of the situation. Not just my side. It helps me overcome anxiety and calms down. Thank you. Xo
She really helps a lot and I love that she listens to what I want to get out of therapy and she can really tell what I need to do to get better. Although the sessions with her are a little short I feel like I get a lot out of them with how she helps me get through my daily stress and anxiety and help me build self-confidence to work through my depression as well.
Marie goes above and beyond to help me maintain a healthy life. Highly recommend a session with Marie Dillinger.
She is amazing
She has been very thoughtful, understanding and respectful. I hope to learn a lot from her !
Great listener, Marie makes me feel comfortable enough to share what I’m feeling. Our session had a good flow, I tend to go off topic sometimes but Marie helps me come back to the bigger picture. Would absolutely recommend her counseling!
Ms. Dillinger was very respectful of my views, and she gave me a fresh perspective that helped me a lot.
Awesome help!
