About Marjorie

Marjorie Fagan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people face depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and life changes. She speaks plainly and works with clients who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Marjorie aims to create a warm, straightforward space where people can try new ways to feel better.

Marjorie has 14 years of clinical experience in a range of settings across California. She draws on therapies that focus on thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness skills, and exploring patterns that show up in relationships and personal history. Sessions often include practical strategies, short-term goals, and attention to what matters most to the client.

In the room she balances short-term problem solving with deeper exploration. That can mean setting doable steps one week and then looking at recurring themes the next. She says she does not have all the answers but will offer suggestions and collaborate on what might help.

Her background includes work with people affected by trauma, addiction, parenting stress, career concerns, and relationship strain. Marjorie emphasizes plain language, steady support, and tools clients can use between sessions to manage mood and cope with setbacks.

People who want a therapist who combines practical strategies with thoughtful reflection may find her approach fits. Marjorie invites prospective clients to consider their goals and to begin with a short matching questionnaire to see if she is a good fit.

How her approaches translate to online work

Marjorie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when helping people manage depression and anxiety. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical steps to shift negative patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and steady mood.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaboration. She works with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and daily life. That means trying strategies, checking how they feel, and adjusting course together until something fits.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work and family schedules because they remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Online work can support practice of CBT exercises between sessions and guided mindfulness practice during meetings. Licensed professionals commonly use this flexibility to help clients keep therapy consistent while balancing everyday demands.
