How these approaches work online and what to expect
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on values-driven actions. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck when life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with impulses. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can help with anger, cravings, and overwhelming emotions.Finding the right approach is often a process. Marianne treats it as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit your goals and preferences. She will suggest ways to try techniques and check in regularly to tweak the plan based on what helps you most.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to remote conversations and exercises, and Marianne adapts interventions so they work in an online setting.
