About Marianne
Marianne Abadir is a Florida LMHC with eight years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, career problems, and depression. Marianne also focuses on concerns like attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, loneliness, and young adult issues.
She prefers straightforward conversations about what is happening now and what you want to change. Sessions usually involve talking through thoughts and feelings and noticing patterns that get in the way. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide those conversations.
Marianne uses practical tools that are easy to try between sessions. That can mean practicing mindfulness exercises, testing small behavior changes, or using motivational interviewing to find your next steps. The goal is to build manageable habits rather than overwhelming plans.
She pays attention to how relationships and automatic reactions shape daily life. This includes issues like codependency, impulsivity, and feeling isolated. Marianne works with people on career stress, workplace concerns, and questions about life purpose.
Her style is direct and calm. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Marianne sees people in Florida and runs sessions in English.
How Marianne’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and decide which values they want to act on. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives clear strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and support mood regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marianne collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and daily life. Sessions typically begin with practical goals, and the plan is adjusted as progress and preferences become clearer.
The therapist biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow for more flexible appointment times. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems actually occur, such as during a work break or between classes. Marianne will work with each client to find a way of meeting that fits their routine and needs.
