About Marie
Marie Foley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts with 18 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation.
Marie creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon.
Background and approach
She listens first, then helps people find ways to cope and move forward. Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood disorders, panic attacks, social anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Marie tailors each session to the person's immediate needs while building skills for longer-term change.
She emphasizes small, achievable steps that fit into everyday life. People who reach out can expect straightforward guidance, calm support, and help sorting through hard decisions. Marie frames progress in concrete terms, such as better sleep, fewer panic episodes, or clearer communication in relationships.
She sees the effort to change as a brave choice and partners with clients through that process. Sessions are offered in English and are available through phone, video calls, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Two common evidence-based techniques she uses are skills-based behavior work and structured problem-solving. Skills-based behavior work focuses on small changes in routines and habits to reduce anxiety or improve mood, such as sleep routines or activity scheduling. Structured problem-solving breaks larger worries into steps so they feel manageable and actionable.Another useful approach is targeted anxiety management that teaches breathing, grounding, and short behavioral experiments to reduce panic and social anxiety. These tools are practical and can be practiced between sessions to build confidence and reduce avoidance.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and adjust based on what helps. You and the therapist decide together which strategies fit your life, needs, and pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility that fits busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let you check in between sessions or have shorter exchanges when a full appointment is hard to schedule. These options make it easier to use therapy consistently and build real skills over time.
