How Marianne’s methods fit into online work

Marianne uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that contribute to anger, anxiety, or low mood. CBT often focuses on short-term skills such as planning, thought records, and behavior experiments to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. This approach helps people clarify their values and resolve mixed feelings about taking steps forward. Solution-focused work complements these methods by concentrating on practical, achievable goals and the next small steps toward them.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Marianne plans work collaboratively with each person, matching methods to their goals, preferences, and life demands. She checks progress regularly and adjusts plans when needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find these practical benefits help them keep steady progress while managing everyday responsibilities.
