About Mariellen

Mariellen LePage, LCSW, helps people facing addictions, relationship struggles, trauma, and codependency find steadier ground. She also works with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, parenting stress, and life changes. Mariellen writes plainly and listens closely so people feel understood from the first visit.

She brings 21 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker in Tennessee. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals. Mariellen blends approaches to match what each person needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Her work often uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and mindfulness to build moment-to-moment awareness. Emotionally-focused and client-centered ideas guide how she supports people through relationship and attachment concerns.

Mariellen aims to teach coping tools people can use between sessions. She helps clients set small, manageable steps toward change and checks progress together. The tone in sessions is collaborative and straightforward, with an emphasis on skill-building and real-life application.

To start, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to her availability. Fees vary by location and use a cancelable subscription model. Sessions are offered in English and are based in Tennessee.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical experiments to shift behavior and mood. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep or eating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also let people practice newly learned skills in the places they live and work and bring real-life situations into discussion. Licensed professionals tailor the pacing and tools to the client, aiming to make sessions practical and applicable to everyday challenges.
