Background and approach
Before clinical work she spent many years in education, which shaped her practical approach to problem solving. She often uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. Her work also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current struggles.
Client-centered techniques guide sessions so the person’s goals set the agenda. Solution-focused methods keep conversations goal-oriented and short-term steps clear. In sessions she helps people identify realistic choices and next steps.
That can mean planning how to manage anger, organizing a routine for mood and energy, or breaking down relationship or career worries into small actions. She frames change as a series of doable steps rather than a single big fix. Marie is familiar with issues like caregiver stress, first responder and veteran concerns, postpartum mood shifts, and addiction-related struggles.
She aims to help clients use their existing strengths while trying new ways of coping and communicating.

04Online support
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and reactions. In online sessions this may mean talking through difficult patterns and practicing new ways to ask for support or set boundaries. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it often involves tracking thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and reviewing results in the next session.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to concerns, discuss possible methods, and try out strategies together to see what fits the client's goals and preferences. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online formats offer flexibility and different kinds of contact. Video calls let people work face to face when that is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options are chosen to match what works best for each person’s schedule and comfort.
