Marianne Terrebonne , LPC, LMFT

Marianne Terrebonne is a board-certified Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a 40-year background focused on assessment, counseling, and treatment planning. She has worked in a variety of roles within a school system setting and brings long experience supporting children, families, and individuals through complex challenges.

For 13 years she served as a school-based liaison with Juvenile Diversion Services in conjunction with the Office of the District Attorney, work that informed her practical, problem-solving style. Marianne emphasizes clear, actionable strategies to help people navigate psychological, intellectual, moral, vocational, and personal growth issues. Her training as an LPC reflects state licensure to provide professional counseling, and her LMFT credential denotes specialized training in marriage and family therapy.

Marianne combines clinical assessment skills with hands-on experience in school and community settings to create individualized plans that address presenting concerns and real-life constraints. She aims to offer focused, solution-oriented care grounded in decades of practice and collaborative work with systems that support youth and families.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Marianne draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. This approach helps people understand connection and trust issues and can be useful for improving family and intimate relationships.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that helps clients identify their own goals and solutions. This method supports self-direction and is often helpful for building confidence and clarifying life purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Marianne works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time to reflect what is helping and what needs to change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, and geographic distance. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support during transitions, and integrate therapy into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists trained to provide effective care remotely.
