About Marianne
Marianne Abadir is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, career uncertainty, and depression. Marianne also addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and life purpose.
Her approach centers on practical, down-to-earth conversation. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to notice patterns and try new responses.
Marianne often works with people who feel stuck after a change in work, relationships, or health. She helps people talk through impulses, addictive behaviors, and problems at work. She also supports those facing loneliness, panic attacks, or seasonal mood shifts.
In session she listens for the small habits that keep problems going. Then she suggests doable experiments and skills to practice between meetings. Sessions may include reflective listening, values clarification, behavioral exercises, and brief mindset shifts that target day-to-day functioning.
Her style is straightforward and goal-focused. People meet to identify clear next steps and track what does and does not help. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the site flow.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure what matters after a life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment awareness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences and adjust them over time. She treats the choice of technique as collaborative and practical rather than fixed.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of meetings into a busy week and the ability to keep consistent appointments when travel or scheduling conflicts arise. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to check in after a difficult day, practice skills learned in session, or schedule shorter follow-ups when needed.
