About Marie
Marie Foley is an MA, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts with 18 years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and social anxiety and phobia. Marie also helps with relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges such as ADHD and addictions.
She keeps sessions direct and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now, specific coping strategies, and small steps a person can try between meetings. Marie aims to help clients notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and build skills that reduce distress day to day.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across a range of concerns. That experience informs clear approaches to panic attacks, low mood, and social fears. She uses methods that emphasize learning and practice rather than long lectures or vague talk.
In sessions she encourages honest, straightforward discussion about current problems and past events that still affect daily life. Goals are set together and progress is checked regularly. Meetings balance emotional validation with actionable techniques people can use outside sessions.
People who choose Marie can expect collaborative planning, steady pacing, and a focus on manageable change. To start, she asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment.
Evidence-based techniques and how they work online
Marie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on learning and practicing new skills. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test them with small behavioral experiments, which can reduce the hold of anxious thoughts. Exposure-based methods address phobias and social fears by encouraging gradual, supported facing of feared situations to build tolerance for discomfort.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms, and daily life. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that meeting remotely helps them practice skills in the settings where they live and interact, while still working with a licensed professional to plan next steps.
