Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Marianna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building to help clients change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and improve daily functioning. These skills-based strategies are useful for managing stress, anxiety, attention challenges, and issues with motivation and concentration. They typically involve learning tools to reframe thinking patterns, practice new behaviors, and build routines that support clearer focus and emotional balance.

Given her work with trauma and abuse, Marianna applies trauma-informed methods that prioritize safety, pacing, and stabilization while helping clients process difficult experiences at a sustainable rate. For parents and caregivers she offers parenting-focused strategies that aim to strengthen communication, set effective boundaries, and improve relationships within the family.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Marianna works with each client to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time as progress unfolds. Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to engage in meaningful therapeutic work from locations and times that fit their schedules.
