About Mariellen
Mariellen LePage is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 21 years of experience. She works with adults facing addictions, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, codependency, and related concerns like parenting and caregiver stress.
Mariellen listens for the patterns that keep a person stuck. She helps people notice how they put others first or avoid conflict. Conversations focus on practical steps - clearer boundaries, manageable habits, and responses that feel less reactive.
Her approach draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). She uses these tools to teach coping skills, manage intense emotions, and shift unhelpful thinking. Sessions include skill practice and feedback rather than only talking about feelings.
Mariellen also works with challenges like grief, sleep and eating issues, bipolar mood concerns, and career or life-change stress. She pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment worries, and problems that arise around domestic violence or substance use. She frames problems in everyday terms so people can try different responses between sessions.
Practical steps are emphasized: small experiments, short-term goals, and techniques to reduce overwhelm. To begin, visitors follow the site process to match and schedule a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and follow Tennessee licensing standards for an LCSW.
How sessions work
How Mariellen’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning small actions that align with those values. It helps when codependent patterns or avoidance get in the way of living the kind of life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into manageable pieces and teaches skills to change unhelpful thinking and routine reactions. It can help with anxiety, depression, and habit patterns tied to people-pleasing. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for moments of overwhelm and for steadying interpersonal responses.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Mariellen will work with a client to pick one or more methods that match the person’s goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made. The goal is to find approaches that fit the client’s life and feel doable in day-to-day situations.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. Licensed professionals often use the same skill practice and homework exercises in virtual sessions as they do in person, so the focus remains on workable changes rather than on format.
