Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Marianne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to support change. CBT helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with simple exercises and experiments. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person's own reasons and readiness to change, useful for habits, addictions, or when motivation feels low.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, near-term goals and identify small steps that move a person toward what they want. This approach is practical and keeps sessions directed toward achievable outcomes. Marianne works collaboratively to choose which approach or mix of approaches fits each person's goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when being on camera is not desired. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins or a way to process between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while focusing on real steps and progress.
