Background and approach
Marie draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help clients manage symptoms and build new habits. She also uses motivational interviewing to clarify what matters most to each person. These methods are mixed to suit the client's needs rather than following a single script.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns over her career, including trauma and abuse, parenting stress, sleep disruption, career worries, and chronic health challenges. Her background includes work with adults experiencing attachment and communication difficulties as well as those coping with caregiving roles. Marie holds LPCC and LMHC credentials in California.
She explains interventions in simple terms and checks in often so clients know what to expect. Her style is respectful and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping people make steady progress at a pace that feels right to them.

Therapeutic approaches fit for online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's concerns and goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps clarify what matters most to the person, which can make online sessions feel collaborative and focused.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. Online CBT often includes practical tools such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and activity planning to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and address sleep problems.
Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Simple breathing and grounding practices can be used between sessions to help with stress and mood management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie will talk with clients about their goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. Together they decide what helps most and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for exercises and feedback. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins. Live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when typing out thoughts feels easier. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
