Background and approach

That might mean learning practical coping skills one week and using a more exploratory conversation the next. Clients can expect sessions that balance structure and flexibility. Marielle pays attention to how people form relationships and to patterns such as attachment or codependency.

She also supports people dealing with addictions, body image concerns, divorce and separation, and life changes like caregiving or health challenges. Marielle works in English and Portuguese and holds PACFA as a credential. She uses creative, person-centred methods and focuses on small, achievable steps that build confidence over time.

Her goal is to help people feel steadier and more able to handle daily pressures. Her approach suits those who prefer a blend of practical tools and reflective work. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person's comfort.

The emphasis is on usable strategies for coping and clearer ways of relating to others.

Practical approaches for online therapy and tools

Marielle uses a blend of evidence-based techniques and transpersonal ideas to guide online work. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills - teaching breathing, grounding and behavioural steps to reduce anxiety and manage stress in day-to-day life. This helps people when symptoms feel overwhelming and they need concrete tools to calm down.

Another strand of her practice looks at attachment and relationship patterns. These conversations help people understand repeating dynamics, improve communication and feel more connected to themselves and others. That kind of work suits people dealing with codependency, relationship strain or difficulties after separation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan as needs change, so therapy feels collaborative and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and working through emotional material. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick updates, mood tracking or ongoing support between sessions. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family and daily life.
