Marianne Terrebonne , LPC, LMFT

Marianne Terrebonne is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and an LMFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with four decades of clinical experience. She brings a practical, problem-solving approach to conversations about stress, mood, and life changes. Marianne aims to make therapy straightforward and understandable for people seeking support.

She has worked across school settings and served as a school-based liaison with Juvenile Diversion Services alongside the Office of the District Attorney for many years. That background shaped her focus on clear assessment and practical planning. Marianne draws on that experience when helping people sort through family and parenting strains or career and vocational questions.

In sessions she leans into approaches that emphasize relationships and coping skills. She uses Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, and Cognitive Behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and build new habits. This can be useful for anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and parenting challenges.

Marianne also addresses issues such as compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, eating concerns, and midlife transitions. She works with adults facing relationship problems, isolation, or life purpose questions and supports those navigating divorce, separation, or postpartum depression.

She practices from Louisiana and conducts sessions in English. Marianne has a long record of helping people create step-by-step plans, manage conflict, and take practical steps toward calmer daily life.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Marianne uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. This approach helps people understand closeness, trust, and patterns that affect parenting, partnerships, or loneliness.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which centers the person's experience and priorities in each session. That means conversations are guided by the client's goals and paced to what feels manageable in the moment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another common tool she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related struggles by teaching concrete skills to change thoughts and actions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Marianne will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most useful. Together the therapist and client pick strategies and adjust them over time so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video lets people use facial cues and longer conversations, phone can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed, and chat or messaging supports short updates or ongoing touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
