Nanine "Marie" Dickson

Nanine "Marie" Dickson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She has a calm approach and focuses on practical steps a person can use right away. Marie aims to help parents and caregivers find clearer choices and feel more in control of daily life.

Marie holds a master's degree in Education and Counseling and brings 12 years of clinical counseling experience alongside a long background in education. She uses straightforward methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered conversation to help people notice patterns and try new responses.

In sessions she looks at a person’s strengths and worldview. That helps uncover existing skills that can be used differently. Clients often work on decision-making, managing strong emotions, and improving communication.

Her approach also draws on attachment-based ideas and solution-focused steps. That means sessions can include looking at how relationships shape feelings and setting small, practical goals to move forward. Marie talks clients through next steps so changes feel doable.

She works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, addictions, caregiver stress, grief, and issues related to intellectual disability. The focus is on helping each person identify options and build routines that support better functioning at home and work.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current emotions and reactions. It helps people understand connection and trust issues so they can try different ways of relating and responding in close relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on working from a person’s own perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person name goals and make choices that fit their values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions by practicing small changes between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marie will discuss goals, preferences, and daily demands with each person and recommend a mix of methods that match those needs. The plan can shift as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people continue work while moving toward concrete goals and improved coping skills.
