Marjorie DiOrio, LMFT

Marjorie DiOrio is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Nevada with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people facing addictions, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her approach begins with respect for each person’s story and strengths.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process where clients' knowledge about their lives guides the work. Marjorie listens for what matters most and helps build practical steps forward. Sessions emphasize straightforward conversation, real-world coping skills, and steady encouragement.

Her background includes two decades of clinical practice in community and clinical settings in Nevada. That time has given her repeated experience supporting people through loss, motivation struggles, and changes that can feel overwhelming. She draws on methods that have research support to tailor work to individual needs.

Marjorie also brings attention to aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, and neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome when relevant to a person's goals. She addresses family of origin topics, communication challenges, and relationship transitions without assuming one fixed path for everyone.

People who prefer direct conversation and step-by-step plans may find her style helpful. She encourages small experiments between sessions and focuses on skills that can be used right away. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process manageable and clear.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care

Marjorie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clear goals and practical skills. One common approach she uses involves problem-focused work that breaks larger issues into manageable steps and small experiments to try between sessions; this helps with things like motivation, depression, and coping with life changes. Another approach emphasizes grief work and mourning tasks that allow a person to process loss at their own pace and find ways to remember and adapt.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Marjorie collaborates with each person to identify which techniques match their goals, preferences, and daily life. She reviews progress and adjusts methods so the plan stays useful and realistic.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since the therapist's profile does not list specific options. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy during life transitions or when mobility or caregiver responsibilities make in-person visits difficult. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire to find a setup that fits your routine.
