    About Marianne

    Marianne Abadir is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, career struggles, and depression in straightforward, supportive sessions.

    She creates an open space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Conversations are practical and direct, aimed at finding steps that fit each person's life. Marianne emphasizes small, manageable changes alongside honest reflection.

    Her work draws on approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means she helps people clarify their goals, notice unhelpful thinking patterns, and build motivation for change. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools are also used to help people notice difficult feelings and move toward what matters to them.

    With eight years of experience, she has supported people dealing with things like attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems, impulsivity, loneliness, and career-related stress. She also addresses specific issues such as panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts, and substance use challenges.

    Marianne asks questions, listens carefully, and works with each person to set realistic goals. She encourages a step-by-step process so progress feels doable. To begin, readers can use the site Start Therapy button to match and schedule an initial session.

  2. Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help

    Marianne uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build the motivation to take steps forward. This approach is useful for addiction concerns, behavior change, and moments when motivation feels stuck. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people accept difficult feelings while taking actions that match their values; ACT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life-direction questions. Client-Centered Therapy is another part of her work, offering a respectful, listening-focused space where people set the pace and goals of therapy.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marianne works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She asks questions, adjusts strategies, and checks in so the work stays useful and relevant.

    Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions let them maintain continuity of care during life changes and balance therapy with work or school commitments.
