Marianne Terrebonne , LPC, LMFT

Marianne Terrebonne brings four decades of clinical experience to her counseling practice, combining long-term assessment, treatment planning, and direct therapeutic work. She built much of her expertise within school system settings, holding a variety of roles that informed her understanding of developmental and family dynamics. For 13 years she served as a school-based liaison with Juvenile Diversion Services in collaboration with the Office of the District Attorney, a role that deepened her skills in working with adolescents and systems involved in diversion and juvenile justice.

Her approach is practical and problem-focused, emphasizing strategies that help people navigate psychological, intellectual, moral, vocational, and personal growth challenges. Marianne works with individuals, couples, and families on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, addiction, parenting and life transitions, as well as issues related to aging and attachment. She brings particular experience addressing family-of-origin problems, codependency, and compassion fatigue.

Marianne is a board-certified Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - which authorizes her to provide professional counseling services, and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT - which reflects specialized training in working with couples and families. She practices from Louisiana and offers care rooted in decades of hands-on experience and collaborative problem solving.

Therapeutic Approaches and Supportive Online Care

Marianne often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide her work. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns of connection formed in relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current emotions and behavior - it can be useful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and family work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, giving clients space to explore goals and values while the therapist offers nonjudgmental support - this approach fits well for those seeking growth, clearer life direction, or help with self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marianne works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Marianne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible for busy lives and for those who live outside her local area. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for their pace and daily routine.
