About Marianne
Marianne Terrebonne is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 40 years of experience. She offers steady, practical support for people facing life changes, stress, and relationship struggles. Her style focuses on clear steps and real-world problem solving rather than jargon.
Over a long career Marianne has worked in school settings and spent 13 years as a school-based liaison with Juvenile Diversion Services and the Office of the District Attorney. That work shaped her ability to do focused assessments and create treatment plans that address behavior, school concerns, and safety. She draws on those skills when helping people manage anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and parenting challenges.
She uses approaches grounded in relationships and skills-building. Marianne blends Attachment-Based ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral tools to help people change patterns that no longer serve them. She also incorporates elements from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work when situations call for emotion regulation or repairing connection.
Marianne helps people facing a wide range of concerns, including codependency, family of origin issues, grief, career shifts, and midlife questions. She also works with aging and geriatric issues, postpartum challenges, and compassion fatigue. Sessions emphasize practical coping skills and clearer communication.
Based in Louisiana, she sees people in English and accepts international clients. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How relational and skills-based approaches work online
Marianne draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. This approach helps when patterns of connection or codependency create ongoing stress or loneliness. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental working relationship. That helps people feel heard and work through decisions at their own pace. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs together to decide which methods to try. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time as progress and challenges emerge. The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or reduce travel time. It can also let people connect with a licensed professional from different locations, which is helpful for those living outside Louisiana or for international clients.Areas of expertise
