About Marie
Her practice emphasizes healing core emotional wounds such as struggles with self-love, communication challenges, a search for life purpose, and persistent feelings of guilt and shame. She draws on an understanding of attachment dynamics to help clients untangle patterns rooted in early relationships and repair the ways those patterns affect present-day connections.
Marie also provides focused support for caregivers, people managing chronic health concerns, and individuals coping with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and fears of abandonment. She maintains a particular commitment to serving military veterans and older adults navigating age-related emotional changes.
Marie aims to create a respectful, supportive space where clients can explore their inner lives, strengthen resilience, and pursue meaningful personal growth. Her approach combines empathy, clinical experience, and practical guidance to accompany each person through their unique path to healing and renewed purpose.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Marie Gauley draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to guide her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting each person where they are, emphasizing empathy and the client’s own goals to foster growth and self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to depression, anxiety, and stress, offering practical tools for symptom relief and coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy blends acceptance with change strategies, teaching skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining elements from different approaches when that best supports progress.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on meaningful, goal-oriented work together.
