She approaches sessions as a collaboration where the client is the expert on their own story. Marianne listens for what’s working and what gets in the way, then helps set small, realistic goals. Conversations tend to be direct and practical, aimed at daily life changes rather than abstract theory.

Common topics she addresses include anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, and issues related to intimacy. She also works with people coping with chronic illness, mood disorders, ADHD, and trauma-related symptoms. Marianne brings experience helping people navigate multicultural concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and end-of-life or hospice-related needs.

Her methods draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to create doable plans and build motivation. Sessions often focus on skills, problem-solving, and identifying smaller steps that lead to change. Marianne emphasizes compassion and steady progress over quick fixes.

People who prefer clear guidance and a strengths-based attitude may find her style a good fit. Sessions are offered in English and are based in Florida. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Marianne’s Approaches Work Online

Marianne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; CBT often suits anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change and build momentum one step at a time. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify small, practical changes that move someone toward their goals quickly.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Marianne will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest strategies to try. Sessions typically focus on setting clear goals, testing small changes, and reviewing progress together so the plan can be adjusted when needed.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during breaks or between other commitments. Different approaches can be useful in remote sessions too, and Marianne aims to help clients apply skills in their everyday routines.
