About Marian
LCSW in Louisiana with 26 years of clinical experience, Marian O'Quin helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem. She also focuses on guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, veteran and armed forces issues, mood disorders, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions are conducted in English.
Marian favors practical, skills-based work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for depression and related concerns. She describes treatment planning as collaborative, aiming for clear goals and steps clients can practice between sessions.
Her approach is straightforward. Conversations identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Then she works with clients to test new ways of acting and thinking. Sessions emphasize skills people can use in daily life.
Marian’s background spans more than two decades of clinical practice in Louisiana as an LCSW. That experience includes helping people after trauma and loss as well as addressing mood and adjustment concerns. She brings long-term clinical exposure to a range of common problems.
People who choose her can expect focused, action-oriented sessions that aim to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. Plans are reviewed as work progresses and adjusted to fit how each person responds. The first conversation typically clarifies priorities and practical next steps.

How CBT fits into online sessions and practical benefits
CBT focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In a session the therapist helps identify patterns that increase worry or low mood, then guides simple experiments to try new responses. This is useful for anxiety, depression, and many mood-related concerns.When trauma-related symptoms are present, cognitive-informed methods look at how traumatic memories and beliefs affect daily life. Work often involves gradual review of memories and learning ways to reduce distressing reactions, alongside skills to manage mood and sleep.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals and preferences together and adjust methods as needed. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT techniques or trauma-focused steps should be emphasized.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare, or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when people need brief support rather than a longer visit. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
