Healing and discovery starts from wherever you are!
I believe that therapy is about the discovery of possibilities, of alternatives, about thinking better of one’s self! It may include revisiting the past, healing wounds,
or finding strengths that you didn’t know you had! It may be about finding purpose, finding your way, making things better, discovering hope, or feeling heard! It can be about knowing that you have a place in this world, or discovering that you’re ‘good enough’—just as you are!
I believe in Person-Centered Therapy; in other words—you are at the center of your world and therapy, (making things better), can start from wherever you are! I also believe that we are all products of both our inherited characteristics and our environments and that no one succeeds alone! We all need help from time to time! We need each other!
For over 13 years, I have been listening and helping professionally. However, as a daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, employee, friend, student, fellow traveler on this human journey, I have been listening and helping all of my life.
Let me join You on your journey!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Marilyn is lovely. She is a very attentive listener and asks good, provocative questions that help me think about situations in a way that I had not previously.
Marilyn really listens and helps me feel supported, heard, validated and has great resources to share regarding the various things we discuss. I’d highly recommend her to anyone seeking therapy.
Wonderful. Patient. Caring. Insightful.
Marilyn has been very helpful over the course of the two months of my subscription. Her presence is calming and I looked forward to my EMDR sessions with her each week. Throughout my time working with her she had an open/flexible schedule and was great at returning any messages I sent. I would recommend her as a therapist to anyone joining. Thank you Marilyn.
Marilyn is a lovely caring lady and look forward to my time with her. !
she is absolutely BRILLIANT. I've had 2 sessions with her. in the first session my wifi wasnt working as well as we'd have liked but she was so patient and tried calling me over and over before we settled on live chat, and in the second we used the audio call feature. I feel like I'm already making so much progress and look forward to our next sessions.
Marilyn was excellent during the difficult time I was going through. She gave me insightful questions to answer and was more than happy just to listen to my concerns. I would highly recommend her.
She is sweet, competent, and helpful. I have loved our time together.
I have had 4 sessions with Marilyn so far and I feel so heard by her. I didn't know what to expect with therapy and truthfully, I was skeptical initially, however I felt instantly at ease with Marilyn and have been able to be so open and honest with her about issues. I look forward to my sessions with her and I feel like I am making progress thanks to her. I would strongly recommend her to everyone.
So wonderful!
I have a very hood relationship with Marilyn Deluera. I would very likely recomen her to friends
I love working with Marilyn! I feel like I can be myself with her. Highly recommend!
Marilyn has been wonderfully supportive and uplifting, but I also want to be told when I’m wrong, and constructively criticized. Although we are only beginning in our counseling journey, a few times she has joined me in confirming the negative feelings i have some people I’ve talked about and I was hoping she would offer a more neutral, unbiased “devils advocate” perspective instead. I think she is great and a this is a personal preference I may have to voice to her.
Marilyn is a great listener and her expertise has been welcomed in my challenging times. Her level of understanding is definitely helping me through this process.
