About Mariellen

Mariellen LePage is a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of experience who helps people facing a wide range of issues. She supports men interested in improving wellbeing as well as people dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions, stress, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns. Mariellen aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. She listens, asks clear questions, and helps clients set steps they can try between sessions.

Her approach blends several evidence-based methods to match each person’s needs. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult feelings and make choices that fit their values. Emotionally-Focused ideas guide work on close relationships and connection.

Mariellen also uses elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotional regulation and coping skills. Sessions focus on skill-building and real-life practice rather than long explanations. Clients are invited to set practical goals and track progress over time.

She practices in Tennessee and brings two decades of clinical experience to common life challenges like parenting strain, career stress, sleep and eating issues, and recovery from trauma. Mariellen frames therapy as a collaborative process and tailors strategies to each person’s situation. She encourages people to take small steps that add up to meaningful change.

How these approaches guide online work

ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how people connect in relationships and helps repair patterns that create distance or conflict.

Finding the right approach is often part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session logistics and formats are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some formats may work better for shorter updates, while others support longer skills practice and deeper emotional work. A therapist can help pick the session pattern that fits a person’s schedule and therapeutic goals.
