Marianne emphasizes practical steps and the client's own strengths when starting work together.

She frames the client as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions often center on clear goals, small changes, and skills that can be practiced between meetings. Marianne encourages realistic steps that fit into everyday life.

Her background includes long-term clinical work supporting people with anxiety, stress, grief, and addiction concerns. She also addresses issues related to parenting, intimacy, and career strain. Over time she has worked with complex presentations like bipolar disorder, ADHD, and post-traumatic stress.

People who prefer direct, goal-oriented work tend to find her style helpful. She aims to offer steady support while helping clients try new ways of coping. The emphasis is on practical progress rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Marianne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors; this can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change and strengthen commitment to goals. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what is already working and sets small, concrete steps toward preferred outcomes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marianne will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time and checks in to make sure the plan feels useful.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity of care during life changes and lets people practice skills between sessions in their everyday routines.
