Marion Saulque, LMHC

Marion Saulque is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with three years of post-licensure experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting, grief, and related areas such as codependency and control issues. Sessions are conducted in English and Marion draws on several therapeutic approaches to support people facing significant life changes.

She began a career change in her early 40s, moving from automotive work into mental health counseling. That background contributes to a straightforward, down-to-earth style. Marion has worked with people in substance use treatment and with women who experienced domestic violence while living in shelters. Those roles shaped her understanding of trauma, survival, and practical recovery work.

Marion’s practice is client-centered and eclectic, and she uses a bit of humor in sessions. She aims to teach practical skills and typically offers about two new skills per week for clients to try. She emphasizes that skills are effective only with practice and follow-through.

Her clinical approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She identifies as Native American and says cultural awareness and respect for spiritual perspectives inform her work.

Marion describes change as difficult but possible with effort and support. She encourages collaboration and steady progress, helping people work toward a more manageable day-to-day life. Those seeking help with parenting stress, intimacy concerns, or trauma-related symptoms may find her practical focus relevant.
