About Marianne
Marianne Clayburn is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, practicing in Utah with four years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. Marianne also addresses concerns such as body image, eating and food-related issues, postpartum depression, and panic disorder.
She integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a trauma-informed perspective. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps - identifying unhelpful patterns, developing coping strategies, and practicing new ways of responding to strong emotions. Marianne often brings attention to values and meaning when people feel stuck or unsure about what's next in work or relationships.
Her background includes work with multicultural concerns and workplace-related stress. Marianne frames conversations around concrete goals like reducing panic attacks, managing seasonal mood shifts, or improving self-directed care after loss. She describes Christian values as part of her outlook, which can shape how she talks about forgiveness and purpose if clients want that included.
In sessions she uses straightforward talk, targeted skill-building, and reflection on past experiences that may be shaping present behavior. People leave sessions with clear next steps to try between meetings. Marianne encourages clients to notice what helps and what does not, then adjusts the approach as needed.
She conducts her practice in English and does not take international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How therapeutic techniques translate to online sessions
Many of the evidence-based techniques Marianne uses focus on skills practice and structured conversation. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help people notice thoughts and test them against reality, which can reduce anxiety and mood symptoms through clear exercises and homework. Trauma-informed methods attend to how past events affect current reactions, using paced processing and grounding tools to reduce overwhelm.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marianne will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what has or hasn’t helped before, tries a method, and adjusts based on how the client responds so the approach stays practical and goal-focused.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when schedules require it. They also let people try techniques between meetings and bring real-life situations into discussion for troubleshooting and practice.
