Marianne Terrebonne, LPC, LMFT - Therapist in Louisiana

About Marianne

Marianne Terrebonne is a licensed counselor and marriage and family therapist who uses practical, problem-solving methods. She brings 40 years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage family and parenting challenges along with stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Marianne keeps conversations straightforward and action-oriented so parents can try changes at home right away.

She trained and worked extensively in school settings, including 13 years serving as a school-based liaison with Juvenile Diversion Services and the Office of the District Attorney.

Background and approach

That work shaped her ability to work with behavioral and practical problems in everyday settings. Marianne holds LPC, which is Licensed Professional Counselor, and LMFT, which is Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Her approach draws from several well-known methods.

She uses attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships, client-centered techniques to hear each person without judgment, and cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Marianne may also draw on skills from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused therapy as needed. Sessions typically focus on clear goals and concrete steps.

Marianne helps people identify small changes that reduce conflict and improve communication. She also supports work on coping skills for anger, grief, addictions, and transitions in work or family life. Marianne provides services from Louisiana and works with English-speaking clients.

She accepts international clients and offers a range of online session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Marianne often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relationships shape behavior and emotional needs. This approach helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try new ways of connecting. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening without judgment and helping the client set the pace and goals of work. That method supports people who need a steady, respectful space to talk through concerns. Marianne also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that links thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can experiment with new behaviors to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marianne will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She adjusts the plan as work progresses so sessions stay focused on what is helpful for the client.

Online therapy can make regular work easier to keep up with. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship work, phone sessions offer a simpler option when schedules are tight, and live chat or text-based messaging can support short check-ins or skill practice between sessions. These formats provide flexibility so clients can access care from Louisiana or other locations and fit therapy into busy family routines.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
