Mariellen LePage , LCSW

Mariellen LePage is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 21 years of experience helping people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. She focuses on women's issues among other concerns and aims to create a grounded, respectful space to begin working through problems.

She keeps sessions practical and direct. Mariellen listens first, then helps people set clear goals. She teaches skills for coping with stress, managing mood, and improving communication. Therapy can include short-term coping plans or longer work on deeper patterns.

Mariellen draws from several evidence-based methods to match each person’s needs. She commonly uses acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally focused strategies. Those approaches guide exercises, homework, and in-session practice that build real-life changes.

Clients often come with concerns like grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating troubles, or work-related stress. She also supports people dealing with attachment wounds, codependency, and compassion fatigue. Mariellen pays attention to how family of origin problems and past abuse can shape current behavior.

She offers sessions while based in Tennessee and works in English. Formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short online questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy flow.

Approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with panic, low mood, sleep, and eating concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and attachment patterns to improve how people relate and communicate, which can help with intimacy and relationship strain.

Mariellen treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit those needs. If something isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan so sessions remain useful and focused on progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face without traveling, phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, and real-time chat or text messaging can help with quick check-ins or ongoing coaching. These formats make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to practice skills in daily life.
