About Mariellen

Mariellen LePage is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 21 years of experience. She helps people facing midlife concerns along with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, addiction, and stress. Mariellen aims to make the first steps toward help straightforward and humane for anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and understanding patterns that keep problems going. She draws from several approaches to tailor work to each person rather than using a single fixed method.

Mariellen uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work. That mix supports skills for mood, coping with life changes, managing cravings, and improving communication. She also addresses issues like ADHD, compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, and blended family concerns.

Her background includes long-term experience in direct clinical practice across a range of concerns. She emphasizes teaching strategies people can use between sessions, such as mindfulness exercises, behavioral experiments, and emotion-regulation tools. The focus is on practical steps that fit daily life and build momentum toward lasting change.

Mariellen works from Tennessee and conducts sessions in English. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability. Costs vary by location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems. It includes practical homework and behavior experiments. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotions and improving how people express needs and connect with others, which can help with relationship strain and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mariellen works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and daily life. She adapts techniques over time so the work fits what the person wants to achieve rather than sticking to one rigid plan.

The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online sessions support practicing skills between meetings and bringing real-life situations into the work, which can help reinforce change without promising specific outcomes.
