Marianne Terrebonne, LPC, LMFT

Marianne Terrebonne is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and an LMFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with 40 years of experience. She offers steady, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, or major life transitions. Her approach centers on listening and clear problem-solving rather than jargon or lengthy theory talks.

Marianne draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to help people understand relationship patterns and feel heard. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to break unhelpful thinking habits. Dialectical behavior strategies and emotionally-focused methods help with intense emotions and improving connection in relationships.

Her background includes long-term roles in school settings and 13 years working as a school-based liaison with Juvenile Diversion Services alongside the Office of the District Attorney. That experience shaped a practical style that focuses on real-life solutions and doable steps forward.

Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying small behavior and thinking changes, and practicing new ways to respond to stress or conflict. Marianne also supports people dealing with parenting strain, addiction concerns, career shifts, aging issues, and questions about life purpose.

She practices in Louisiana and works in English. International clients are accepted. To begin, readers should use the Start Therapy button and complete the brief matching questionnaire before scheduling based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in attachment, repair ruptures, and build more stable ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and supporting each person’s own goals. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior for issues like anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about problems, goals, and preferences, then suggest a mix of methods that fit. Together they will adjust strategies over time based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people try skills and then report back in the next meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment, client-centered, and CBT tools to work through relationship patterns, emotional regulation, and thought habits in remote sessions.
