Marie Foley, LMHC

Marie Foley is a licensed mental health professional practicing in Massachusetts with 18 years of experience supporting people through a range of challenges. She holds the LMHC credential - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and has worked extensively with concerns such as stress, anxiety, family conflict, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence issues, and depression.

Marie has experience working with both adolescents and adults, meeting with clients individually and in joint sessions when appropriate. She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly. Seeking change can feel daunting, and Marie emphasizes the courage it takes to begin that process. She aims to support and empower each person as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life, tailoring her approach to the needs of the individual and fostering collaborative work toward meaningful goals.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Marie Foley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. She often draws on cognitive and behavioral strategies that help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood, and everyday stressors. These approaches focus on changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and building clearer, more effective coping responses.

She also incorporates trauma-informed methods when addressing experiences of trauma or abuse, which emphasize safety, pacing, and understanding how past events affect current functioning. Additionally, Marie employs skills-based coping techniques to strengthen resilience, improve emotional regulation, and support recovery from addictions or difficult life changes.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Marie works with each client to explore what feels most effective and comfortable, adjusting strategies based on the client’s goals, preferences, and progress. Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility to fit appointments into busy lives and make consistent care more accessible. These options allow clients to engage in meaningful therapeutic work from locations that are convenient for them.
