About Marilyn
Marilyn Santoro is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with 25 years of clinical practice. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, and depression. Marilyn aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where someone can take the first step toward feeling more capable and hopeful.
She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that can be used between meetings. Treatment plans are shaped by what the person wants to work on and how they prefer to approach change.
Marilyn draws from several therapeutic methods to support coping and growth. She uses client-centered work to prioritize the person’s experience and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is among the tools she may use for addressing traumatic memories when appropriate. Existential ideas are woven in to help people find meaning and direction.
Her style is straightforward and caring. She encourages small, doable steps and checks in on progress. To start, she asks about goals and builds a plan that fits the person’s life and needs.
