Background and approach

Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people feel more in control of daily life. Marie draws from several evidence-based approaches to shape treatment plans. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to gently challenge unhelpful thinking.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify values and move toward small, meaningful goals. She also integrates client-centered methods to keep the pace aligned with each person’s needs, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation skills when feelings feel overwhelming. These methods are applied to concerns such as panic, phobias, addiction, and trauma symptoms.

Marie has experience supporting people facing attachment problems, communication struggles, guilt, shame, isolation, and impulse control issues. She also provides help around smoking or vaping cessation and managing the effects of domestic violence and substance use. People who choose her often want straightforward tools, clear steps, and a respectful listening approach.

New clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when anxiety or fear shows up. ACT is useful for worries, stress, and avoidance patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes; it often helps with anxiety, panic, and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and then choose techniques together. That collaborative process makes it easier to try methods and adjust what isn't working.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat works well for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around school, work, or family routines.
