About Maryke

Dr. Maryke Van Zyl is a clinical psychologist who uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage depression and relationship concerns. She has ten years of experience and sees clients in Indiana. She speaks English and Afrikaans and aims to make the first step into therapy easier for people who are unsure where to begin.

She focuses on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, and mood disorders. In sessions she encourages honest conversation and works to reduce shame and fear around sharing feelings. The first meetings usually focus on what matters most to the person and on clear, achievable goals.

Her approach draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She explains strategies in plain language and practices skills with clients so they can use them between sessions. Practical tools often include noticing thoughts, shifting unhelpful patterns, and building small routines that reduce stress.

Maryke strives to create a calm space for talking about difficult experiences. She helps people name what is getting in the way and then tries different steps to make life feel more manageable. Progress is paced to the person's needs and reviewed regularly.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice hard thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate action. It helps people clarify values and take small, value-driven steps even when emotions are strong.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and to build routines that improve mood and sleep.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving how people cope with stress and conflict. It includes skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may blend techniques so the plan fits the present problem rather than sticking to a single method.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking to know what is available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals adapt techniques to work well over remote appointments and help people apply skills to daily life.
