Background and approach
She uses techniques that teach skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mariellen blends several evidence-based methods to match a person's needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift thought patterns.
She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people align actions with values and to repair important relationships. In session she emphasizes everyday tools - breathing, behavior experiments, and focused questions that make problems easier to manage.
She pays attention to family of origin issues, abandonment and attachment concerns, and the stress caregivers carry. Mariellen also addresses substance use and co-occurring issues that complicate recovery. Mariellen offers therapy to people located in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English.
She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Starting is straightforward: choose Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits your needs.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts without being driven by them and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with experiments and behavioral changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness when feelings feel extreme.Mariellen will work with each person to figure out which approach or combination fits best. That process is collaborative - she and the client set goals together and try methods that match the person's needs and preferences. Adjustments are made as work proceeds so the plan stays useful.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video lets people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing tracking between longer sessions.
