About Marianne
Marianne Abadir is a Florida LMHC with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, career challenges, and depression. She speaks English and works with adults facing these concerns.
She uses straightforward, skills-based approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions often include practice of specific strategies and short experiments to try between meetings. Marianne draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered techniques to guide that work.
For people coping with addiction or impulsivity, she uses motivational interviewing to clarify values and strengthen willingness to change. For anxiety and panic symptoms, she introduces gradual exposures and cognitive tools to reduce avoidance and overthinking. Mindfulness techniques appear alongside those methods to help with attention and emotion regulation.
Marianne pays attention to relationship patterns such as attachment issues, codependency, or communication problems that can affect mood and work life. She also supports people dealing with isolation, workplace stress, questions about life purpose, and young adult transitions. Her approach is practical and focused on small, manageable steps.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. She asks people to set clear goals so each session stays focused on what matters most.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Marianne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on spotting and testing thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced during sessions and as short homework between meetings. ACT centers on clarifying personal values and choosing actions that match those values even when feelings are difficult, helpful for motivation and life direction.She also uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect so goals remain practical and relevant. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time rather than committing to one path from the start.
Confirm current online session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time so clients can use work breaks or evenings for appointments. These practical benefits help people try skills in their daily life and bring those experiences back to sessions for review.
