Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Marianne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem-solving. One approach centers on building coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding, and activity planning to reduce overwhelm and increase control. Another approach emphasizes grief and loss work through naming emotions, creating rituals of meaning, and pacing recovery so people can manage sorrow without being overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marianne works with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options and adjust methods as progress unfolds so the plan fits each person’s life and pace.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter, simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework follow-ups, or times when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options help fit sessions into busy schedules and different day-to-day rhythms.
