Nanine "Marie" Dickson

Nanine "Marie" Dickson is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and questions about life purpose. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice choices they can make and small steps they can try. Marie writes plainly and focuses on practical next steps people can use between sessions.

Marie has a Master’s degree in Education and Counseling and brings 12 years of clinical counseling experience to her practice. Before that she spent many years in education, which shaped her interest in coaching people through change. She combines that background with brief, goal-focused tools to help people move forward.

Her approach centers on what clients already do well. Sessions often look at patterns in relationships, attachment style, and daily habits that keep problems going. Marie uses cognitive behavioral ideas to test thoughts and behaviors, and client-centered listening to follow what matters most to each person.

She also uses mindfulness practices and solution-focused strategies to build small, manageable plans. For someone coping with grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, or issues tied to trauma and narcissism, this mix aims to create clearer choices and calmer responses.

Marie sees therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people identify strengths, try new behaviors, and adjust plans when needed. Practical homework and simple experiments between sessions are common parts of her work.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and closeness. It helps people understand why they respond a certain way in relationships and supports learning new patterns of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels workable. From that discussion a collaborative plan is made and adjusted as needed so therapy matches the person's needs.

Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy lives because it removes travel time and lets them schedule sessions around work or caregiving.
