Background and approach
The work is collaborative and paced to what the client can handle. Marie draws on several approaches to tailor care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based choices and making room for difficult emotions. Client-Centered and mindfulness work bring attention to the present moment and the person in front of her. People often seek her help for relationship strain, parenting stress, family of origin issues, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness or loneliness.
She also supports those coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and mood disorders. Typical sessions include talking through current problems, setting small goals, and practicing skills to reduce emotional pain. Marie aims to make therapy feel useful and manageable for busy lives.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Marie often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to ease symptoms like anxiety or low mood. ACT concentrates on identifying personal values and taking committed action, while learning to tolerate difficult feelings instead of avoiding them.The therapist treats choosing an approach as a shared process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust the plan as work progresses. Clients help set the pace and decide which techniques to try between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. Video calls let visual cues guide the conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in, and messaging supports shorter, ongoing contact and homework between meetings. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent.
