Hello, I'm Marianne. I've been providing online therapy for five years. My previous experience includes inpatient and outpatient care, group and individual therapy, and working closely with a psychiatrist. I find online therapy to be as effective as in-person and much more convenient for my clients. I am an independently licensed counselor in the state of Ohio (LPCC), which means I diagnose and treat. We will have a conversation that answers: What is bringing you to therapy at this time? What goals, in general, do you want to accomplish through therapy? We will talk about your background, where you grew up.

I work with neurodivergent adults, trauma survivors, couples, and parents navigating identity, relationships, and change.
Many of my clients carry a quiet sense that something has always felt different or off-script. Some are autistic or ADHD and have spent years adapting to systems that never truly saw them. Others are navigating trauma, grief, or identity shifts, often without clear names or obvious scars. They want clarity, self-trust, and a way forward that reflects who they really are. Therapy with me is about honoring that complexity and building something real, no performance required.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
