Marlene Dmytryshyn

Marlene Dmytryshyn is a licensed clinical social worker with 40 years of experience in New York. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. She speaks plain, direct language and encourages people to take the first step toward getting help.

Marlene centers sessions on each person's story and strengths. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and supports them in finding practical ways to manage stress and relationship strain. Conversations aim to make difficult topics easier to talk about and to identify small, workable changes.

Over four decades of practice have included work with people facing abandonment, infidelity, and isolation. She also helps those dealing with serious illness, chronic pain, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the challenges that come with midlife. Divorce and separation are among the issues she addresses in sessions.

Marlene helps people sort through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and questions of life purpose. She offers steady guidance when grief or loss makes daily life harder. Sessions emphasize clear goals and realistic steps rather than abstract theory.

Choosing to start therapy is often a brave decision, and Marlene aims to make the process straightforward. She invites prospective clients to begin by using the site's Start Therapy button and a short matching questionnaire to schedule a time to talk.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Many clinicians use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage relationships, grief, and life transitions. One common approach focuses on problem-solving and goal-setting to reduce immediate stress and clarify next steps. This method is useful for people navigating separation, caregiving strain, or midlife changes.

Another approach emphasizes working with emotions and narrative. It helps people name painful feelings, make sense of loss, and rebuild a sense of direction after life changes. This work often involves talking through specific moments and finding new ways to respond to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit your situation. This collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel practical and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can work with you to arrange a rhythm of sessions that matches your schedule and goals.
