About Marie
Marie favors a solution-focused style while tailoring each plan to the individual. Sessions typically center on clear goals and small, manageable steps. She helps people identify what they want to change and works with them to build concrete strategies to get there.
Her background includes work with career transitions, compassion fatigue, parenting questions, and symptom areas like depression and ADHD-related challenges. Marie uses tools from client-centered practice and cognitive behavioral methods to help people weigh options and test changes in daily life. Motivational interviewing also appears in her approach when people need help clarifying their reasons for change.
She aims to create a collaborative space where clients feel heard and guided rather than lectured. Conversations often move between exploring feelings, trying new behaviors, and adjusting plans based on real-world results. That mix gives pragmatic focus to deeper personal work.
To begin, people typically answer a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. Marie practices in Florida and conducts therapy in English for those seeking help with eating concerns, workplace issues, or life transitions.
How Marie’s approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s own goals and experiences first. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps the client steer sessions toward what matters most. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, navigating relationship concerns, and clarifying values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, stress, eating concerns, and mood changes.
Marie uses motivational interviewing when people feel unsure about change. That method helps uncover a person’s own reasons for trying something different and builds readiness in a collaborative way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to prioritize. That means the plan can shift as progress is made or new needs appear.
Confirm the session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use video or audio options depending on how they prefer to connect.
