Marie Foley , LMHC

Marie Foley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts with 18 years of professional experience. She draws on nearly two decades of clinical work to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, as well as those navigating family conflict, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and addiction issues. Her practice also includes work with trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, mood disorders, panic attacks, and social anxiety.

Marie works with both adolescents and adults, providing individual therapy and collaborative work when family or partners are involved. She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be voiced and explored. Her approach centers on building motivation, strengthening self-esteem and confidence, and helping clients develop practical coping skills to manage daily stressors and longer-term challenges.

Recognizing that seeking change takes courage, Marie aims to support and empower each person through the process of growth. She partners with clients to set achievable goals and to move toward a more fulfilling, balanced life, honoring each person’s pace and priorities along the way.

Evidence-Based Support and Online Options

Marie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs presented. Skills-focused interventions help clients manage symptoms of anxiety, panic, and mood challenges by teaching practical coping tools, stress-management strategies, and ways to reduce avoidance. Family-centered work addresses communication patterns, parenting concerns, and relationship conflicts to improve interaction and problem-solving among family members. Trauma-informed practices guide care for people who have experienced abuse or loss, emphasizing stabilization, pacing, and support for processing difficult experiences.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Marie approaches this work collaboratively. She and each client review goals, preferences, and progress together to identify which techniques fit best, adjusting the plan as needs evolve so the work stays person-centered and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in treatment through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to attend sessions around work, school, or family responsibilities and allow consistent contact with licensed professionals even when in-person meetings are not feasible.
