Marlene Dmytryshyn

Marlene Dmytryshyn is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 40 years of professional experience. She helps people facing relationship problems, family conflict, grief and loss, intimacy concerns, and life changes. Marlene frames clients as the experts on their own stories and draws on their strengths to work through difficult moments.

She listens for the patterns that make problems repeat and helps people name what feels stuck. In sessions she talks through practical steps and coping strategies for grief, separation, or shifts in role and identity. She also addresses abandonment wounds, infidelity, and issues that commonly follow divorce and separation.

Marlene supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, hospice and end-of-life questions, and caregiver stress. She helps clients process guilt, shame, resentment, and the questions that come with chronic pain or long-term health challenges. She also works with those navigating midlife questions and searching for life purpose.

Her approach treats relationship and intimacy problems as everyday issues that can be examined and acted on. Conversations focus on clear next steps, boundaries, and repairing or redirecting strained connections. She encourages realistic coping plans for isolation, loneliness, and the practical fallout of family problems.

Sessions are conducted in English from her New York practice. Marlene asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on measurable tools and practical strategies. For example, problem-focused interventions break larger issues into small, concrete steps to address relationship conflict or caregiving stress. These methods help people try specific actions and then review what worked and what did not.

Another common approach uses structured grief work to help people process loss in clear stages. This involves talking through memories, identifying rituals or routines that change, and developing coping plans for difficult dates or triggers. Such focused work can reduce the overwhelm that often follows bereavement or major life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to a single method from the start.

The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people sustain consistent work on relationship, grief, and life-purpose concerns.
