Background and approach
Therapy often includes practical tools for coping with strong emotions, improving communication, and handling everyday pressures at home and work. Many people who meet with her are dealing with life transitions, workplace stress, or identity questions. Marianne draws on nearly 27 years of practice to tailor support to each person’s situation.
She pays attention to family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and the complexities of blended families. Her approach blends several methods so sessions can match what a person needs. Techniques come from acceptance-based work, cognitive behavior strategies, emotion-focused ideas, and skills for managing intense feelings.
Sessions aim to strengthen self-awareness and build habits that reduce distress over time. Marianne offers online formats and can work with international clients. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small actions that match their values. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions when someone wants to move toward meaningful goals despite fear or doubt. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it works well for anxiety, depression, sleeping issues, and eating-related concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships to improve connection and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Marianne will talk with a person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she tailors a mix of methods so sessions match the client’s needs through practical exercises and steady check-ins.
Online therapy gives flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls are a good option for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send thoughts between sessions or check in quickly when they need brief support. These formats make it simpler to keep consistent care while juggling work, family, and other responsibilities.
