About Marianne
Marianne Terrebonne is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with four decades of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and find workable ways forward when life feels overwhelming. She uses straightforward, practical approaches in sessions.
Marianne listens to what is happening now, and helps clients set clear goals. She guides people through steps they can try between meetings so progress continues outside the session room.
Background and approach
Over 40 years Marianne worked in school settings and in roles connected with juvenile diversion services and the district attorney's office. That background shaped her ability to assess situations and make realistic plans for change. She draws on experience with stress, anger, depression, addiction, relationship and parenting concerns.
Her methods include helping people understand their attachment patterns, using client-centered conversations to clarify values, and applying cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work when they fit the person's goals. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.
Marianne offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling to fit each person's availability. She practices in Louisiana and aims to make therapy usable and practical.
The focus is on problem solving, clearer communication, and steps a person can take today to reduce distress and move toward their goals.

Using practical therapeutic approaches online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns. It helps people understand why they feel distant, clingy, or easily triggered in relationships and offers ways to shift those patterns.Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping a person find their own answers. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting what matters most and supporting the client's personal goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and behavior changes people want to make.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps make sessions practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase convenience. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or messaging can work for brief updates, coaching-style exchanges, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between appointments.
