About Marianne

Marianne Abadir is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She has eight years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, career transitions, and depression. Marianne aims to make first steps feel manageable and supportive for anyone ready to try therapy.

She centers sessions on listening and understanding each person’s story. That means making space for thoughts and feelings without judgment. Marianne uses narrative ideas alongside cognitive and mindfulness tools to help people see patterns and try new ways of responding.

Background and approach

Her work often focuses on practical day-to-day challenges. Examples include managing panic and seasonal mood changes, handling workplace pressure, and coping with loneliness or isolation. She also supports people dealing with substance use, codependency, and problems with impulsivity or anger.

Marianne blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered care to fit what someone needs. Conversations may include looking at unhelpful thinking, trying small behavior changes, practicing mindful moments, and reauthoring personal narratives that get in the way of goals. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through calls, video, chat, or text.

Marianne shares the practical steps people can take, and helps them set goals that feel achievable. Her approach emphasizes steady progress and respect for each person’s pace.

Online session options

Approach-Based Online Therapy That Fits Your Story

Marianne integrates Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for moments to reframe those stories so they feel less limiting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them, accept difficult thoughts, and take small committed steps toward chosen values.

She treats approach selection as a collaborative process. Early sessions are used to learn what matters, what hasn’t worked, and what the client hopes to change. Together the client and Marianne try tools and adjust the plan so it matches goals and daily life rather than following a fixed script.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy conversations and seeing nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can fit a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text are practical for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to attend sessions, keep momentum between meetings, and try approaches in real-life situations.
