Approach, tools, and how online therapy works
Marianne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne collaborates with each person to choose and adapt methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly to see what is helping and adjusts tools or exercises together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text is useful for brief check-ins or notes between appointments. These options make it easier to attend regularly and to use skills where life happens.
