Mariellen Anderson

Mariellen Anderson, LICSW, is a licensed social worker in Washington with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, intimacy-related issues, sleeping difficulties, and coaching. Her practice also attends to a broad range of related areas, including aging and geriatric issues, blended family challenges, body image, first responder and veteran matters, gender dysphoria, and process addictions such as gambling or exercise.

She approaches work with attention to the practical concerns people bring and the complex histories that often accompany them. Mariellen creates a nonjudgmental space for exploring difficult emotions, relationship conflicts, and recovery from traumatic events. She supports those navigating transitions such as postpartum adjustment, immigration stress, or reintegration after military service. People who want to address panic, social anxiety, or concerns about infidelity and trust can expect a steady, collaborative partner in the process.

Mariellen is fluent in English and is available to work with clients both within Washington and internationally. She frames each collaboration around the client’s goals, pacing, and readiness to change, and she assists in identifying steps toward a more manageable, satisfying daily life.
