About
Marilyn Verbiscer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has practiced since 1999 and brings 24 years of clinical experience to her work with individuals, couples, and families. She addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and intimacy-related issues, depression, sleep problems, parenting challenges, anger management, low self-esteem, career-related struggles, and coping with life changes.
A graduate of Purdue University, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Child Development and Family Studies. She is licensed to practice marriage and family therapy in both Illinois and Indiana. In addition, Marilyn is recognized as a Clinical Fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, serves as an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, is a Certified Gottman Seven Principles Leader, and holds board certification in Telemental Health, demonstrating specialized training in clinical supervision, couple work, and online therapy.
Marilyn has published and presented on topics such as infidelity, telemental health, clinical supervision, tele-supervision, and clinical documentation, and she has taught psychology courses at Purdue University and the Illinois Institute of Technology. She typically checks messages Monday through Friday during standard business hours and aims to respond within 24 hours on weekdays, while asking for patience when professional responsibilities require additional time.
She prefers weekly live video sessions because she finds therapy progresses more quickly through that format, which can lead to faster relief. Video appointments are typically 30 to 45 minutes in length. Currently, evening appointment times are full, with most availability between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM Central, Monday through Thursday. For scheduling, Marilyn prefers to arrange appointments directly with clients rather than through an in-app calendar.
Marilyn looks forward to the opportunity to work with new clients and to support them in meeting their goals.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?
Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care for most situations. One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that best fits their needs and schedule, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to keep consistent appointments and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life. All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be better.
