About Marianne
Marianne Abadir is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She brings eight years of experience helping people who are stressed, anxious, struggling with addictions, or dealing with depression.

She uses approaches like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and client-centered work to help people notice what matters and change patterns that cause pain.
Background and approach
Sessions often include short exercises, clear goals, and conversations about daily habits that get in the way of feeling better. Marianne helps people manage anger, impulsivity, panic symptoms, and workplace strain. She also supports those facing loneliness, codependency, attachment concerns, and questions about life purpose.
Treatment plans are shaped around each person’s situation and what they want to achieve. Her style aims to be direct but warm. She invites honest talk about difficult feelings and practical problem solving.
Marianne encourages small, steady steps that build toward clearer thinking and healthier behavior. Therapy is offered in English and provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Prospective clients choose a short matching questionnaire to start and schedule sessions based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems like avoidance. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses simple exercises to shift patterns that keep problems going. It often helps with panic, mood, and workplace stress. Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, offering empathic listening and collaboration to find what matters most.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne will talk with each person about goals, life demands, and preferences, and then try approaches that fit. The therapist and client decide together whether to use ACT, CBT, client-centered techniques, or a mix based on how things are progressing.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for longer sessions and deeper exercises. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, homework review, or quick coping support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines.
