Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Marianne integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice to address relationship wounds, personal values, and patterns of thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape present connections and can help with intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual’s experience and emphasizes empathy and collaboration to build self-esteem and self-advocacy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies and reshapes unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marianne works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time, combining approaches when that best supports progress.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent, goal-focused work while accommodating individual communication styles and practical needs.
