Mariellen keeps language plain and actionable. She works on small, concrete steps people can use between sessions. She also uses mindfulness tools and emotional skills training when those fit the goals.
Her practice is informed by long experience across many issues and a belief that therapy is collaborative. People who want to start complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How specific approaches can work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often includes small, practical experiments and mindfulness exercises to reduce struggle with difficult thoughts and feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It uses structured exercises, behavior changes, and homework to reduce symptoms like insomnia, anxiety, or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best. Goals, preferences, and real-life constraints shape that decision so therapy feels useful and doable.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow follow-up check-ins that are brief and focused. They also let people use skills learned in therapy in the same places they live and sleep, which can help with sleep and daily routines. Licensed professionals tailor the pacing and tools to each person's needs.
