How Marianne's approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and move toward those values, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and related symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood.Finding the right mix of approaches is something the therapist will do together with each person. Marianne tailors techniques to a client's goals, preferences, and everyday life. She will work collaboratively to try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the available online session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills where they live and then discuss how those efforts went during the next meeting.
