Approaches in Online Therapy and How They Help

Marianne draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective patterns - this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges. She also uses Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative style that helps clients explore ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change - it can be especially useful for addiction, motivation, and stages of readiness. Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool she employs to spotlight strengths and small, practical steps toward clients' goals, making it a good fit for relationship issues and life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Marianne partners with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative process ensures care is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from licensed professionals and therapists in ways that fit everyday life.
