About Mariellen
Mariellen LePage is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, and parenting stress. Mariellen also supports those coping with grief, career shifts, ADHD, and problems with sleep or eating.
Her approach blends several well-known methods to match what each person needs. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when emotions and attachment questions are central. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns and build practical skills.
Mariellen favors straightforward work in sessions. She listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she helps clients try small changes and practice new ways of responding. Sessions include talking, noticing emotional patterns, and learning tools to handle strong feelings.
Over two decades in the field have exposed her to many kinds of struggles, from substance use and domestic violence to abandonment and blended family issues. That breadth informs how she plans goals and checks progress with each person.
People who come to Mariellen can expect direct, skills-focused sessions that still pay attention to feelings and relationships. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How Mariellen uses EFT, ACT and CBT in online work
Mariellen integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) into her work to help people notice and name difficult emotions and attachment patterns. EFT is focused on how emotions guide interactions and can help when relationship patterns or closeness feel stuck.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support values-based choices and to teach ways to tolerate uncomfortable thoughts and feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thinking patterns that maintain anxiety or depression and to practice alternative, more helpful responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mariellen collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their concerns, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as work unfolds and as new issues come up.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, child care, or travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or let someone choose a quieter space with less background activity. Licensed professionals tend to use these options to help people keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
