Marlene Dmytryshyn

Marlene Dmytryshyn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 40 years of professional experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, family conflict, grief and loss, and intimacy-related issues. Marlene emphasizes the person's strengths and treats each person as the expert on their own story.

She works with people facing major life changes, including divorce, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and end-of-life transitions. Marlene also helps those dealing with feelings of abandonment, guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Narcissism and infidelity are among the topics she addresses in relationships and recovery work.

Marlene aims for straightforward conversations and practical steps. She listens to what matters most and helps people identify small changes they can try between sessions. Her goal is to make overwhelming problems feel more manageable over time.

Throughout her decades of practice she has supported people through caregiving stress, cancer and hospice concerns, and the complicated emotions that come with chronic pain and illness. Her approach is grounded in using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work while centering each person's values and goals.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Marlene encourages people who are ready to begin. She invites prospective clients to start with a short matching questionnaire and to schedule a session when they are ready.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Many clinicians use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical steps. One common approach involves building on a person's existing strengths to address relationships and life transitions; this helps when someone wants concrete ways to change patterns and handle conflict. Another approach emphasizes grief and loss work, using careful conversation and memory-focused tasks to process difficult emotions and adjust to new realities.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made or as new challenges appear.

Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, and let people meet with a licensed professional from different places within their daily routine. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and what will work best for your situation.
