I've had one session with Marie and the tools she gave me have helped me tremendously to navigate a few life altering situations that happened since the first appointment. I'm not ready to move forward.

Marie feels like a warm hug. She's supportive yet careful in what she recommends or advises on. She offers my new perspectives and gives me insights based on her knowledge of psychology jargon. She's extremely kind and has a very soft presence.

More about Marie

  • 28 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

As a licensed therapist in California with nearly three decades of clinical experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions, with a compassionate and faith-informed approach.

I understand the unique needs of older adults and those seeking a conservative, Christian-oriented therapeutic experience. My work focuses on healing core emotional wounds, including self-love, communication difficulties, life purpose exploration, and managing feelings of guilt and shame.

My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding attachment dynamics, supporting caregivers, addressing chronic health challenges, and helping individuals work through panic attacks, posttraumatic stress, and abandonment concerns. I'm particularly committed to serving military veterans and older adults experiencing age-related emotional transitions.

I believe in creating a supportive, respectful environment where clients can explore their inner world, develop resilience, and move toward meaningful personal growth. My goal is to walk alongside you with empathy, wisdom, and genuine care as you navigate your unique healing journey.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
