She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas are used to increase awareness and improve connection in important relationships.
Sessions are aimed at clear, doable goals rather than abstract talk. Marie works with people to set priorities, practice new skills, and track progress between meetings. She emphasizes compassion for setbacks and building realistic plans that fit day-to-day life.
People who reach out can expect a calm, practical style that values their perspective. Marie frames therapy as a partnership where the client’s goals lead the work and the therapist provides guidance, tools, and steady support.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood and worry.She also draws on Client-Centered and emotionally focused ideas to create a respectful space where people feel heard. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what fits the person’s needs and preferences.
