About Marianne
Marianne Terrebonne uses a practical, problem-solving counseling style to help people facing life changes and relationship strains. She brings 40 years of experience as a counselor to sessions and draws on her training as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT).
Marianne stays straightforward and focused in conversations so busy parents can get clear steps to try right away. She has a long history working in school settings and spent many years as a liaison with Juvenile Diversion Services alongside the Office of the District Attorney.
Background and approach
That background means she is used to helping people with behavior, academic, and legal stresses, and understands how family dynamics affect day-to-day life. In sessions she uses approaches that center on attachment, emotions, and practical thinking.
That could mean looking at how past relationships affect current patterns, practicing new ways to respond to stress, or trying specific skills to manage mood and worry. Marianne adapts what she offers to each person’s situation. Her areas of focus include parenting and family concerns, anxiety and depression, grief, addiction issues, ADHD, career questions, and stress related to caregiving and midlife transitions.
She also supports people facing separation, communication problems, or loneliness. Marianne works with people in Louisiana and accepts international clients in English. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging so people can fit counseling into busy days.
Online approaches that focus on relationships and skills
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current relationships. It helps people understand why they react a certain way and work toward more stable connections with others.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and goals. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people find their own solutions and strengthen self-trust.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical strategies to change behaviors and mood. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing everyday challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne will discuss different methods and collaborate with each person to pick what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things out and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls let participants read body language and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for shorter updates, skill practice, or when written communication feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counseling into work, childcare, or travel routines while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
