Marie Gauley

Marie Gauley, LMFT, helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, and the fallout from trauma. She offers calm, steady support for relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Marie brings 28 years of clinical experience in California to each conversation.

Her work uses mindfulness practices alongside client-centered and cognitive-behavioral tools. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how early wounds affect present relationships.

Marie also helps when health problems, caregiving burdens, or aging create emotional strain. She supports people working through panic, post-traumatic stress, abandonment fears, and compassion fatigue. Military veterans and those wrestling with money or purpose questions are within her areas of focus.

Therapy with her blends narrative techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to build coping strategies and clearer communication. Conversations aim to reduce distress, increase self-compassion, and identify steps toward goals. The tone is respectful and faith-informed when that matters to the person.

If someone is ready to start, the usual process is to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How mindfulness and practical therapies work online

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple, present-moment awareness skills. It helps people notice stress and strong emotions without being overwhelmed, which can reduce reactivity and support clearer choices. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and empathy so people feel heard and can explore what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit the person. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that balances skills practice with deeper exploration.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, such as keeping appointments around work or caregiving demands or avoiding travel time. It also lets people practice mindfulness and CBT exercises between meetings in their own routines. Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are offered, and expect practical guidance on how to use therapeutic tools from session to session.
