About Marianne

Marianne Terrebonne is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and an LMFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with 40 years of work in assessment, counseling, and treatment planning. She brings a practical, problem-solving focus to sessions and aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Marianne works from Louisiana and speaks English.

Her background includes long experience inside school systems and 13 years as a school-based liaison with Juvenile Diversion Services working alongside the Office of the District Attorney. That history shaped her direct, solution-focused style. She uses clear strategies to address setbacks and to build day-to-day coping skills.

In sessions Marianne draws on approaches that center relationships and present challenges. She helps people understand attachment patterns, notice unhelpful thinking, and practice new behaviors that ease conflict and reduce worry. Conversations often include setting small goals and practicing skills between meetings.

She also supports people facing major life changes, midlife concerns, caregiving stress, and aging and geriatric issues. Marianne offers help with parenting stress, family-of-origin problems, and work-related concerns like career shifts and compassion fatigue.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. Marianne aims to make therapy useful and relevant quickly, focusing on what a person can do now to feel steadier. Readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How Marianne's approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior; it helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try different ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses empathic listening to help them find their own solutions; it is useful when someone needs a calm space to sort thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marianne will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as therapy progresses.

The practical value of online therapy is making sessions easier to fit into busy lives. Online options can reduce travel time and help people maintain continuity when schedules change. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking to know how appointments are held. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and check-ins so therapy connects to everyday routines and responsibilities.
