About Mariellen

Mariellen LePage is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 21 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship struggles, grief, parenting stress, and coping with life changes. She also supports those affected by coping with natural or human-caused disaster and related impacts on daily life.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and steps that fit day-to-day life. She blends several well-known therapy approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Mariellen draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These methods can help with mood, relationships, emotional regulation, and patterns that keep problems repeating.

She brings two decades of clinical work to sessions, which shapes a calm, steady approach. People can expect to work on concrete goals, learn coping tools, and practice new ways of responding to stress and triggers. The emphasis is on noticeable, usable changes rather than theory alone.

To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches work in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then choose actions that match personal values. It can help when worry, avoidance, or uncertainty get in the way of living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical behavior changes, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding feelings and patterns in close relationships to improve connection and communication.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick or combine methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Clients can expect regular check-ins about how the approach is working and adjustments as needed.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can ease fitting therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and letting sessions happen from different locations. It also makes it simpler to schedule shorter check-ins or follow-ups when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EFT techniques across sessions so clients keep making progress even when life is unpredictable.
