About Marianne
Marianne Terrebonne is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Louisiana with 40 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and life changes. Marianne also helps with addictions, ADHD, grief, eating concerns, and career-related pressures.
Her background includes long-term roles within school systems and work as a school-based liaison with Juvenile Diversion Services alongside the Office of the District Attorney. That mix of educational and community settings shaped a practical, problem-solving style. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can try between meetings.
Marianne draws on client-centered and attachment-based ideas to understand how relationships and early experiences affect current behavior. She also uses cognitive behavioral methods to address unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior skills for emotional regulation when needed. Emotion-focused strategies are used for working through painful experiences and improving connections.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what matters most to them and concrete skills to reduce overwhelm. Marianne places attention on real-life functioning - managing work or school stress, parental challenges, or coping after a loss.
Her long tenure includes assessment, counseling, and treatment planning across educational and community programs. That history informs a practical approach that aims to clarify next steps and build coping routines that fit everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships shape current interactions and helps people notice patterns that affect closeness and trust. This approach can be useful when relationship issues or family-of-origin concerns keep repeating in adult life.Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and guiding the person’s priorities. It supports people who want a direct place to talk through decisions about work, parenting, or identity while being heard without pressure.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and low mood going. CBT gives concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and the everyday pressures of early adulthood like job stress or study demands.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. Marianne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than using one fixed model.
