01About Marie
Marie Hanby is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin who focuses on helping people with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and big life changes. She communicates in plain terms and centers sessions on the person in front of her. Her style aims to support practical steps toward feeling better rather than offering quick fixes.
Marie sees the person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She encourages small, doable actions that can ease daily strain and restore a sense of control. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, and Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what the client brings.
Those approaches guide how conversations are shaped and what kinds of tools are offered. With four years of professional experience as an LPC, she brings practical experience supporting people through loss, hardship, and stressors related to work or caregiving. Her background includes helping people recover from abuse and navigate relationship endings and workplace conflicts.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and meetings are scheduled according to availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

04Online support
How therapy approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without acting on them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and moving through difficult life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy centers on careful listening and responding to what each person brings. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and works to create a space where someone feels heard and understood. This approach supports people dealing with grief, depression, and recovery from trauma.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marie will discuss options and help decide which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls are handy when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quicker check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible for different routines and needs.
