Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Marianne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is trauma-informed work, which helps people understand how past events affect current emotions and reactions, and then build steady coping skills to reduce overwhelm. Another frequently used method focuses on mood and anxiety strategies that teach skills for managing panic, social anxiety, and depressive symptoms through step-by-step practice. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne collaborates with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps make sure the techniques feel useful and realistic for everyday life. Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs a low-bandwidth option or wants a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing between sessions or need brief, timely support. These formats help make therapy fit into busy schedules and different routines.Frequently asked questions
