About Marianne
Marianne Abadir is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with eight years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, career pressures, and depression. She creates a straightforward space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment. Marianne encourages small steps toward clearer thinking and calmer days.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills people can use between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are woven into sessions to help with staying present and noticing values that guide change. Marianne also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to change behaviors related to substance use or other patterns that hold them back.
Client-centered methods shape how she meets people so sessions are paced by each person's needs and goals. She helps clients set realistic, manageable steps toward recovery and growth. She works with issues related to attachment, codependency, communication problems, impulsivity, loneliness, and life purpose in addition to clinical concerns like panic attacks, paranoia, and seasonal affective disorder.
Marianne aims to make therapy a practical part of daily life, not just something that happens in an appointment. To begin, she asks simple questions about what matters most to the client and what has helped or not helped before. From there she and the client decide on tools and homework that fit that person's routine and goals.
How proven approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values, even when anxiety or difficult thoughts are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that lead to stress or depression and replacing them with clearer, more helpful habits. Both approaches are practical and skill-based, so they adapt well to remote sessions and short skill drills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life. She will talk through options, try techniques in session, and adjust based on what works best for the individual's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone work can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions and practice skills in shorter exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or family commitments and to use tools when they are most needed.
