Marie Judith Charpentier-Thorpe, LPC, LMHC

Marie Judith Charpentier-Thorpe is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns. She approaches therapy with respect for each person's story and works alongside clients to build confidence and motivation. Her style is supportive and straightforward, aimed at practical steps people can use day to day.

With three years of professional experience, Marie blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with other therapies tailored to each person. Sessions focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors. She also draws on acceptance-based ideas to help people live according to their values when life feels hard.

She tends to keep conversations clear and grounded. People can expect goal-focused work and gentle exploration of patterns that get in the way. Communication skills and coping strategies are common topics in sessions.

Marie pays attention to how attachment and emotions shape relationships. That perspective can help when trust, closeness, or repeated conflicts are causing stress. She also addresses issues like body image, guilt, isolation, and workplace strain.

Therapy can include short skills practice, reviewing progress, and planning steps between sessions. Marie encourages curiosity about what works and what needs to change. The aim is steady, usable progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Marie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises to reduce anxiety or low mood and on small changes that can improve daily life.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes accepting difficult emotions while committing to actions that reflect personal values. ACT can be useful for people wrestling with worry, life transitions, or motivation struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what feels helpful and adapts the plan over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is easier. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, coaching, and ongoing practice between longer sessions, making therapy fit into busy schedules.
