About Marianne
Marianne Terrebonne brings a pragmatic, problem-solving orientation grounded in decades of clinical work. Marianne is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with 40 years of experience that include assessment, counseling, and treatment planning across educational and community settings.
Background and approach
Her practice emphasizes practical strategies to address stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Over her career she spent significant time working within school systems and collaborating with juvenile diversion services and the Office of the District Attorney, giving her experience in liaison roles and interdisciplinary coordination.
That background informs an approach that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with attachment-aware and client-centered perspectives to help people build skills, manage emotions, and repair relationships. Marianne works with a wide range of concerns including parenting, grief, career questions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, and she draws on multiple therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs.
Marianne practices in Louisiana and communicates in English. She accepts international clients and offers flexible session formats, aiming to meet clients where they are and support practical, measurable progress toward their goals.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Marianne integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered practices to inform her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building concrete skills to change behavior and reduce distress, which can be well-suited to structured online sessions and skill-building exercises. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to patterns of connection and emotional bonding, helping clients explore relationship dynamics and heal interpersonal wounds through reflective conversations and relational exercises.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marianne discusses goals, preferences, and life circumstances with each person to determine which methods to prioritize, and she tailors interventions so they fit the client’s needs rather than applying a single protocol to every case.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from varied locations, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice new skills between sessions using written or digital tools that complement the therapeutic work.
