About Marianne
Marianne Terrebonne is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) practicing in Louisiana with 40 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns and a wide range of related issues including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and adjustment to life changes. Marianne also works with people facing relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, and career or purpose questions.
Her background includes long experience in school settings and work alongside Juvenile Diversion Services and the Office of the District Attorney. That history shaped a practical, problem-solving style. Sessions emphasize clear goals, assessment, and measurable steps clients can try between meetings.
Marianne uses approaches drawn from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). She applies these methods to help people understand patterns, manage strong emotions, and change unhelpful behaviors. Conversations tend to be direct and focused on what will work in daily life.
People reach out to address parenting strain, family conflict, codependency, postpartum depression, aging and geriatric concerns, or veteran-related issues. She also supports those dealing with addiction, eating concerns, and compassion fatigue. The work often combines skills training with exploration of family history and attachment patterns.
Sessions are available in English. International clients may be supported; confirm session options when booking. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape present patterns. It helps people see why they react a certain way with partners or family and supports new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It suits stress, anxiety, depression, and behavior changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions in relationships and helps people identify and change interaction patterns that keep tension going.Choosing the right approach is part of the first sessions. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to the client’s goals and preferences. That might mean practicing CBT skills one week and using attachment-focused work the next. The plan can change as needs evolve.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. They also let people have a shorter check-in when needed, use fewer visual cues if that helps, or schedule a session during a lunch break without commuting.
