Approach and how online sessions work
Marianne draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a trauma-informed perspective. One common approach is skills-focused therapy that teaches coping tools for anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms, helping people practice breathing, grounding, and behavior changes. Another element is trauma-informed care, which means pacing work on painful memories and building stability before addressing deeper material. These methods are used to address social anxiety and phobia, grief, depression, and similar concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Marianne will discuss goals and preferences with each person and try methods that fit those goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is helpful and what feels manageable.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about the available session formats when you reach out. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so appointments are simpler to schedule.
