About
Marylise Zwarts is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of clinical experience based in Florida. Her work focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety and depression, and a range of life stressors including addictions, self-esteem struggles, and parenting challenges. She addresses intimacy-related issues, family dynamics, and concerns that often overlap with eating and sleeping difficulties.
Her practice integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a client-centered philosophy, and psychodynamic therapy to tailor a plan to each person’s situation. Those approaches are used to explore distressing memories, strengthen personal resources, and identify recurring patterns that influence current relationships and coping. She lists additional areas of focus such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, infidelity, and first responder issues.
Marylise works with English and French speakers and offers remote care. She accepts international clients and provides sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Remote care and therapeutic approaches
Marylise delivers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging and accepts clients internationally. These options allow clients to engage from different locations while using the same core clinical approaches she practices in person. Her EMDR training is applied to support processing of disturbing or traumatic memories. In accessible terms, EMDR involves guided attention and structured processing to reduce the emotional charge of past events and related symptoms. The client-centered approach emphasizes listening to each person’s perspective and building plans that reflect their priorities and pace. Psychodynamic therapy is used to explore patterns that develop from earlier relationships and life experiences and how those patterns play out in current behavior and emotions. Together these methods are offered in a collaborative frame: clients who prefer a balance of practical processing, a space that honors their viewpoint, and exploration of longer-term patterns may find this combination relevant. Sessions can be scheduled via the available remote formats to accommodate different needs and time zones.How many years has this clinician been practicing?
