About Marjorie

Marjorie Fagan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, career issues, and bipolar conditions. Marjorie works in English and does not accept international clients.

Marjorie describes herself as a practical collaborator rather than a fixer. In sessions she listens, offers observations, and suggests strategies that people can use between meetings. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns, practice new skills, and test small changes in daily life.

Her approach draws on work across several clinical settings and with diverse ethnic populations. That background informs how she thinks about trauma and long-standing patterns. She helps clients break large problems into manageable steps and track what does and does not help.

Marjorie is straightforward about limits and options. She does not present herself as having every answer. Instead she offers suggestions, tools, and short-term experiments to see what fits each person.

To begin, clients use a subscription-based session model that can be canceled at any time. The intake process starts by selecting the See online therapy options button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a first session.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Marjorie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and then practice small behavior changes that can reduce symptoms. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that can lower reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping. Mindfulness is often paired with other work to manage grief, stress, and strong emotions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Marjorie treats the choice of approach as collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as formats are not specified in the source biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss scheduling and practical arrangements during the matching and first appointment so sessions fit into everyday life.
