Marie Hanby

Marie Hanby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with four years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. Marie emphasizes each person's strengths and works alongside them as they make changes that matter.

She uses approaches that center the client's own goals and values. In sessions she focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. Marie encourages small experiments that build new habits and reduce overwhelm.

Her work often involves helping people who are navigating loss, relationship upheaval, or the fallout from abuse. She listens for what matters most to each person and tailors conversations to those priorities. This can include making plans to manage strong emotions or finding new ways to cope when routines shift.

Marie also supports people dealing with workplace stress, caregiver strain, or feelings of isolation. She invites clients to notice their values and to take actions that reflect them. Sessions aim to be collaborative and grounded in what a person can realistically try next.

Clients describe the process as a mix of focused problem solving and personal reflection. Marie asks questions, offers tools from approaches she uses, and follows the client's lead. Her goal is to help people move toward a more manageable, meaningful day-to-day life.

How Marie’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on present-moment work and practical experiments. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental listening stance where the person sets the pace and goals, useful for people recovering from trauma or feeling overwhelmed.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Marie will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then use the approaches that fit best. Sessions are collaborative - she offers tools while following the client’s lead to find what works in daily life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity during major life changes while working on values-based goals and coping strategies.
