About Marie
Marie Hanby is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and major life changes. Marie speaks English and aims to make starting therapy a straightforward step toward feeling steadier and more hopeful.
Marie believes each person knows their own story. She treats clients as partners, building on their strengths to navigate hard moments. Sessions are paced to match what someone can manage, with practical steps to try between meetings.
Her background includes four years of professional counseling experience in clinical settings. That experience has involved supporting people after relationship upheaval, loss, workplace difficulties, and other disruptions. She has worked with survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence and with people coping with the fallout of natural or human-caused disasters.
Marie uses approaches that center the client’s values and experience. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to help people notice thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take small meaningful actions. The focus is on real-life changes rather than labels.
Choosing to begin therapy can feel uncertain. Marie offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and practical guidance to help people move through painful events and toward clearer priorities and routines.
How these approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, value-driven steps even when emotions are strong. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's lead so sessions reflect the person's priorities and pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, struggles, and day-to-day life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or audio in ways that suit their energy and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and client-centered exercises for remote sessions so clients practice coping skills between meetings and bring real situations into therapy for focused problem solving.
