About Maryke

Dr. Maryke Van Zyl is a licensed clinical psychologist who brings ten years of practice to people seeking help with relationships, trauma, intimacy concerns, and depression. She sees clients in Indiana and offers sessions in English and Afrikaans.

Her approach centers on building a calm, open space where people can speak honestly about hard things without judgment. She often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people better understand their emotional responses and how these shape close connections.

Background and approach

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and to clarify values and goals. In a typical session she listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and then works with the person to try small, practical changes.

That might mean noticing patterns that keep coming up, practicing new ways to speak about needs, or learning strategies to manage mood and stress. Dr. Van Zyl has experience helping with divorce and separation, communication problems, life transitions, and post-traumatic stress.

She also supports people facing multicultural concerns, issues related to HIV/AIDS, and women's mental health topics. People who start with her are guided through clear next steps. The first meeting focuses on what matters most now, followed by a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name the emotions that drive their patterns in relationships and close connections. Online EFT sessions focus on noticing emotional responses, practicing new ways of naming needs, and trying out different ways of reaching out to others.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, centers on clarifying what matters most and taking action in line with those values. In remote sessions this often looks like short exercises and homework that help people notice difficult thoughts and still move toward their goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. Over video or phone, CBT work usually includes tracking patterns, testing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing small behavioral changes between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend one or a mix of methods. Together they review what’s working and adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let therapists and clients read facial expressions and tone. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief updates and between-session coaching possible. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules or locations change.
