Mariellen LePage, LCSW

Mariellen LePage is a Tennessee-based licensed therapist with over 21 years of clinical experience. She practices as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and blends extensive training with a compassionate, client-focused style to help people navigate addiction, trauma, relationship struggles, mood concerns, stress, parenting challenges, and a wide range of life transitions. Mariellen emphasizes listening first, creating a space where clients feel heard, understood, and validated as they explore goals and challenges.

She draws on a range of evidence-based methods to tailor treatment to each person’s needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), alongside psychodynamic perspectives, mindfulness-based approaches, and solution-focused strategies. That flexibility allows her to combine skill-building, insight work, and practical coping tools so clients can manage symptoms, strengthen relationships, and pursue meaningful change.

Mariellen approaches therapy as a collaborative journey. She works with individuals on issues such as addiction, grief, parenting, ADHD, anxiety, depression, intimacy and relationship concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, caregiver stress, and career or life transitions. Prospective clients can schedule an appointment through her profile and begin building skills and strategies to support longer-term wellbeing and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take values-guided action even when life feels challenging. It can be helpful for managing anxiety, depression, and the stress of major life changes by building psychological flexibility.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. Through practical exercises and skills training, CBT is often used to address anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with stressful situations.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is especially useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Mariellen approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals adapt techniques over time, and the therapist and client decide together what to try and how to measure progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing work by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from home or other convenient locations while still working with experienced therapists.
