How Marianne’s approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking concrete steps that match those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems like insomnia or low self esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Marianne will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. Over a few sessions she adjusts techniques based on what helps most, mixing values work, skills practice, and mindfulness where needed.
