She knows how daily routines and outside systems affect emotional health. Marianne draws on several therapy styles to match what each person needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape current worries.

She also addresses topics like parenting concerns, career stress, addictions, and compassion fatigue. People who choose her often want a therapist who listens, offers clear options, and stays practical. Marianne works with adults on issues ranging from self-esteem and relationship struggles to more specific problems such as postpartum depression, ADHD challenges, and phobias.
She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients.
Approach-focused care through online therapy
Marianne commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques in her online work. Attachment-based methods look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions; this helps with relationship problems, anxiety, and caregiving stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage phobias, and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marianne works with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She reviews what is helping and adjusts plans together so therapy stays practical and relevant to the client's needs.
Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can support shorter updates, homework check-ins, or people who prefer written communication. These options provide flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving duties, or people who live far from in-person services.
