About Marianne
Marianne Terrebonne is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) practicing in Louisiana with 40 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, grief, and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Her background includes long experience in school-based roles and liaison work with juvenile diversion and the district attorney's office. That work shaped her practical, problem-solving style and her focus on assessment and treatment planning. She uses straightforward methods to help people identify patterns and make changes that fit their daily lives.
Marianne draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based ideas to look at how feelings and close relationships shape behavior. She also uses client-centered conversations and cognitive-behavioral strategies to address thoughts and actions that get in the way. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are part of her toolkit when people need concrete coping strategies.
In sessions she helps people talk through family-of-origin issues, communication problems, codependency, control issues, and midlife questions. She also supports clients dealing with aging and geriatric concerns, postpartum depression, veteran and armed forces issues, and career transitions. Her approach emphasizes practical steps and clear planning.
Clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The practice uses a subscription system that can be canceled at any time; session cost varies with location. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
How Marianne’s approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and the interaction patterns they create. It is often used when people want to change how they respond in close relationships and better understand attachment needs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to understand present difficulties and to help people form more secure bonds with others. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s perspective, using active listening and reflection to help clarify goals and next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne will discuss goals and preferences with each person and recommend which methods to emphasize. The plan is collaborative and can blend EFT, attachment ideas, and practical CBT or DBT skills depending on what the client needs.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals can use video or phone in ways that match a client's day-to-day needs, and Marianne’s emphasis on practical strategies aims to help people apply what they discuss in sessions to everyday life.
