About Mariellen

Mariellen LePage is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Tennessee who focuses on a broad range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and self-esteem.

Background and approach

With 21 years of clinical experience, she draws on evidence-based methods to help clients navigate life transitions, manage mood disorders such as bipolar, address coping and caregiver stress, and work through family of origin, communication, and attachment challenges.

Her style blends compassion with practical skill-building, offering tailored care that uses elements from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, emotionally-focused work, and client-centered principles. Mariellen emphasizes collaboration and aims to help clients develop strategies for coping, improving communication, resolving codependency or substance concerns, and building healthier patterns.

She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and works with a subscription model that may vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to her availability.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and take committed action even when uncomfortable feelings are present; it is often useful for people facing life changes, anxiety, or persistent patterns that get in the way of meaningful living. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and difficulties with sleep or eating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses and attachment patterns, which can be helpful for relationship struggles and intimacy-related issues.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs to determine whether ACT, CBT, EFT, DBT skills, or a client-centered stance will be most helpful at a given stage. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and practice skills between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions used in person to remote formats so that goal-focused work, emotion processing, and skill development continue without geographic constraints.
