About Mariellen
Mariellen LePage is a licensed clinical social worker in Tennessee with 21 years of experience. She supports people dealing with anger, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, stress, relationship struggles, and parenting concerns. Mariellen aims to help clients feel heard and respected while they work toward change.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She mixes techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered work to fit each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on learning skills, spotting patterns, and changing behaviors that get in the way of daily life. Mariellen uses short exercises and real-life practice between sessions. She helps people manage strong emotions, improve communication, and reduce unhelpful habits.
The work includes learning coping tools for stress, sleep, eating, and impulse control. Over two decades in the field have given her experience with trauma, family of origin issues, codependency, and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing career change, burnout, or compassion fatigue.
Mariellen draws on that experience to guide step-by-step change. People who meet with her can expect a collaborative process. She listens, offers feedback, and helps set goals that matter to the client.
If someone is ready to begin, the next step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

Therapeutic approaches that translate online
Mariellen often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to improve mood and functioning. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and patterns that lead to anger or substance use.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can support coping with stress, grief, chronic worry, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and everyday routines and then suggest strategies to try. Clients and therapist adjust methods over time so the plan fits how someone actually lives and what they want to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, skill coaching between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into a busy life.
