About Marianne
Marianne Auger is a licensed mental health counselor in Massachusetts with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with life changes, and work through mood and behavior concerns. Marianne meets people where they are and keeps conversations direct and practical.
She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide sessions. That means sessions often include identifying values, practicing small behavior changes, and learning tools to respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
Marianne also draws on skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation or distress tolerance are needed. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including anger, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing career pressures, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues tied to gender and sexual identity.
Marianne has experience addressing obsessive and compulsive behaviors, personality-related struggles, and social anxiety. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability. Marianne emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work. She prioritizes a collaborative plan and practical steps so people can move toward a more manageable, meaningful life.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values despite hard thoughts or feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and build better routines; it can help with mood, sleep, and compulsive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, needs, and what feels most helpful. Sessions are shaped together so tools match daily life and real challenges.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let visual cues guide conversation and exercises. Phone sessions can be a simple option when bandwidth or comfort with video is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to practice new skills in everyday moments.
