How Mariellen works
She listens closely and helps people set clear, achievable goals. Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults dealing with complex problems. That experience shapes how she tailors care for people who have co-occurring issues like substance use and mood disorders.
She pays attention to patterns from family of origin, attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, and caregiver stress. Mariellen draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods. She uses mindfulness skills and practical exercises to build coping tools and reduce symptoms over time.
Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person. Sessions may include skill teaching, problem solving, and compassionate reflection on past events. People can use these skills between sessions to handle triggers, improve relationships, and navigate major life changes.

Online support options
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions in relationships and helps people understand and express needs more clearly to improve closeness and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix elements from different approaches so the plan stays practical and responsive to progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for short updates, homework support, or when someone prefers written exchanges. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
