About Mariellen
Mariellen LePage is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 21 years of practice. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and struggles around intimacy and relationships. Parents worried about sleeping, eating, and parenting challenges will find practical, skill-focused support.
She also addresses addictions, bipolar issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career or life-change concerns. Mariellen uses clear, straightforward methods rather than jargon. Sessions focus on concrete skills, emotion understanding, and making small changes that add up.
Background and approach
She draws on therapies that teach coping tools and improve communication. The aim is to help clients build routines, reduce overwhelm, and feel more in control. Her background includes long clinical experience and training in several evidence-based approaches.
Mariellen blends techniques from cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance-focused work, emotion-focused strategies, and mindfulness. This lets her adapt to what a person actually needs rather than following a single template. In conversation she listens first, then suggests practical exercises to try between sessions.
Those may include behavior experiments, grounding and mindfulness practices, or skills for managing intense emotions. Progress is tracked in simple, measurable ways so people can see what’s changing. Sessions are offered from Tennessee and use a subscription-based model that can be canceled at any time.
Communication options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and finding direction during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, centers on identifying and changing patterns in close relationships by labeling emotions and strengthening connection; it can help with intimacy-related issues and communication struggles.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the person’s goals and try different strategies that fit those needs. Together they will decide which methods to keep using, which to adjust, and which skills to practice between sessions so progress can be measured over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling parenting, work, and health needs. Video calls recreate the face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions allow easier access when video isn’t practical. Live chat and text-based messaging make short check-ins and skill coaching possible between meetings. These options help people stay consistent with therapy while fitting care into a busy life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
