About Marian

Marian O'Quin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also supports people coping with low self-esteem, guilt, loneliness, mood changes, postpartum depression, and issues related to military service and post-traumatic stress.

Marian uses straightforward, skills-focused methods in sessions. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test different ways of responding. For trauma, she uses approaches that focus on processing painful memories and reducing their hold on day-to-day life.

In practical terms sessions include learning concrete tools for managing mood and worry, practicing new behaviors, and working through upsetting events at a pace the person can manage. She talks with clients about goals and then checks progress over time. The work tends to be task-oriented and focused on what people can do between meetings to feel better.

Marian has decades of experience in clinic and community settings in Louisiana. Her background includes long-term clinical practice with a wide range of concerns. That experience informs how she tracks symptoms and adapts strategies when a particular technique is not helping.

People who want clear steps to handle anger, reduce anxiety, or manage low mood will find practical tools and grounded discussion. To start, use the site's matching process to outline goals and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Marian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, irritability, and managing stress.

She also uses trauma-focused processing methods that help people make sense of painful memories and reduce their emotional intensity. These approaches involve revisiting traumatic material in a paced way and practicing new ways of thinking about what happened.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marian will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods as progress is reviewed. The decision about which techniques to use is collaborative and based on what feels useful in sessions.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Ask about format options so sessions can be scheduled to suit daily life and responsibilities.
