About Marie
Marie Gauley is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 28 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and issues around self esteem. Marie uses a faith-informed outlook when clients request it and aims to offer steady, compassionate support during hard times.
She focuses on healing core emotional wounds and improving communication skills. Sessions often address feelings of guilt, shame, abandonment, and struggles with life purpose. Marie also works with people coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and addiction-related concerns.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients try practical steps between meetings. Techniques come from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness, and narrative approaches tailored to each person's needs.
Marie draws on a long clinical background to help clients build resilience and clearer self-understanding. She invites people to explore patterns that keep them stuck and to practice new ways of responding. The aim is realistic change you can notice in everyday life.
Her practice also addresses career stress, intimacy and relationship concerns, parenting strains, money and financial issues, and compassion fatigue. People who want a values-aware therapist may find her approach fits well.
