How Marie works
Sessions are collaborative and focused on small, achievable changes that add up over time. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on client-centered methods to follow each person's pace. She also uses narrative and existential techniques to help people reframe their stories and find meaning when life shifts feel overwhelming.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants support making a change but feels unsure how to start. She pays close attention to communication and attachment patterns that affect relationships. That includes blended family issues, commitment or control problems, and caregiver stress.
Marie also addresses concerns such as body image, isolation, abandonment, and dependence so people can regain confidence and clearer boundaries. Marie speaks English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole. Her eight years of experience include helping people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
She aims to make therapy practical and understandable for someone juggling busy family life or work.

Online support options
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It starts by listening closely and following the client's priorities, which helps when someone needs support that respects their pace and culture. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves so past events or hard labels do not define what comes next.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and adjust techniques based on your goals, preferences, and how you respond. This partnership helps find methods that feel useful rather than prescriptive.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins and a way to communicate between sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, parenting, or travel.
