About Marion
Marion Saulque is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. She made a major career change in her early 40s from automotive mechanic to counseling. That shift followed years living in several states and led her to focus on helping people recover from addiction, trauma, depression, and anxiety.
Her approach is client-centered and down-to-earth. She uses practical tools and a bit of light humor in sessions. Marion aims to teach two useful skills each week and encourages regular practice so the tools make a real difference in daily life.
Marion draws on mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral ideas alongside dialectical behavior strategies and EMDR techniques. She speaks from hands-on experience supporting people in substance use treatment and women who survived domestic violence. Those experiences inform how she talks about safety, coping, and rebuilding routines.
She describes herself as culturally aware and nonjudgmental, and she references a spiritual perspective shaped by her Native American background. Marion frames change as difficult but possible with steady effort and support.
In sessions she focuses on concrete steps - short skills, real practice, and weekly check-ins. The goal is to help people manage intense emotions, reduce panic and shame, and move toward a more livable daily routine.
How mindfulness and brief skills translate to online care
Mindfulness Therapy focuses on bringing gentle attention to the present moment. It helps people notice stressful thoughts and physical tension without getting swept away by them, which can reduce rumination and panic.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's goals and experience. The therapist listens deeply, reflects feelings, and supports decisions so clients can steer the work where it matters most.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into clear parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.
Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. Marion will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. Together they set goals and pick skills to practice between appointments so progress can be measured week to week.
Confirm available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an appointment. When format details are confirmed, a plan can be chosen that matches scheduling, energy levels, and preferred ways of connecting.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
