About Marianne
Marianne Terrebonne is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 40 years of experience. She offers clear, practical help for people who are feeling overwhelmed by life changes, stress, parenting challenges, or relationship strain. Marianne draws on straightforward, problem-solving methods in sessions.
She focuses on helping clients sort out immediate concerns like anger, anxiety, depression, or addiction. Many people seek support for parenting questions, self-esteem struggles, grief, or career transitions.
Background and approach
Her background includes long experience working inside school systems and thirteen years as a school-based liaison connected to juvenile diversion work. That history gave her a lot of practice doing assessments, planning treatment, and coordinating with other professionals when needed.
In a typical meeting Marianne listens closely, helps identify what is getting in the way, and works with the person to try small, doable changes. She uses tools that strengthen emotional connection, improve communication, and teach skills for managing strong feelings. Sessions aim to be realistic and usable.
Marianne helps people set clear goals, test new ways of responding, and track progress over time. Her approach is practical and focused on making daily life a bit easier for parents and individuals under stress.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Marianne uses attachment-based ideas to help people look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. This approach focuses on improving emotional connection and helping clients respond differently in close relationships.She also uses client-centered methods that put the person's experience first, offering a listening stance and helping the person find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another tool she draws on to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Marianne will review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together based on what works. She talks through options and helps clients choose approaches that fit their situation and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy parents and people with changing schedules.
