About Marian
Marian O'Quin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 26 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or low mood. She speaks plainly with clients and focuses on practical steps that can make daily life easier. Her approach is steady and patient, aimed at helping people take small, manageable steps toward feeling better.
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood.
Background and approach
Marian tailors plans to each person’s goals and circumstances. She also has a long history working with trauma, depression, and issues that follow major life changes. Sessions typically include talking through current problems, learning skills to manage strong emotions, and trying new ways of responding in difficult situations.
For someone dealing with anger, she helps identify triggers and builds healthier reactions that fit the person’s life. She also supports people coping with guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Marian’s practice draws on more than two decades of clinical work in Louisiana.
That background informs how she structures therapy and the tools she offers. She aims to be clear about what each step involves and to move at a pace people can handle. If someone is considering online sessions, she offers a range of formats so therapy can fit into daily routines.
The first step is a short matching questionnaire to help pair needs and scheduling. From there, sessions are scheduled based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new skills, and setting small experiments to test different behaviors. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and everyday stress.Marian also draws on trauma-informed understanding when working with post-traumatic stress and abuse-related concerns. That work often includes pacing exposure to difficult memories and building coping skills for strong reactions. The goal is steady progress toward feeling more in control of responses to reminders of the trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on how a person responds and what is most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for longer sessions and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat can fit a quick check-in, and messaging helps with brief updates or questions between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work and family commitments.
