Background and approach
Mariellen emphasizes clear steps people can try between sessions to see what helps. Her background includes long experience with trauma, grief, parenting stress, caregiver strain, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. She also helps with eating and sleeping problems, attention challenges, and issues that come from complicated family histories.
This practical experience shapes how she helps people set goals and stay on track. Mariellen draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work. She blends these tools to match each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone.
Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session according to therapist availability. Mariellen works to keep the process clear and manageable for busy lives.
Approaches for online therapy and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It’s useful when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotions and improving how people express needs in close relationships; it can help with intimacy and relationship distress.Mariellen expects to figure out the best approach together. She will ask about your goals, what has helped before, and what feels realistic for your life. Then she combines methods in a collaborative way so the plan fits your needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give more flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or mobility is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping the focus on consistent progress.
