About Marilyn
CO Psychologist Dr. Marilyn Ternay, PSY.0000837, has 40 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Dr. Ternay uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She focuses on practical steps people can take between meetings. She listens for strengths that can be used to manage current problems and to build confidence.
Many callers come with caregiver stress, trouble with communication, or a sense of isolation. She also helps people who are searching for clearer life purpose or who struggle with social anxiety and phobia. Work in sessions is goal-oriented and often focuses on small, testable changes that reduce symptoms over time.
Her style is straightforward and focused on what can be done now. People leave sessions with specific strategies to try at home and a plan for the next steps. The therapist asks about current routines and obstacles before suggesting practical adjustments.
Dr. Ternay draws on four decades of practice to notice patterns and offer behavioral strategies. She encourages clients to identify their own strengths and to test new ways of responding. Beginning work involves a short assessment, collaborative goal-setting, and regular review of progress.

Regardless of format, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
