About Marianne
Marianne Abadir is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She has eight years of experience helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, career challenges, and depression. Marianne focuses on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can start to make changes.
She uses practical therapy methods that help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with tools that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
Marianne helps clients learn skills for managing strong feelings and reducing impulsive reactions. Her work often addresses problems like codependency, communication difficulties, attachment concerns, and isolation. She also supports people facing workplace stress, questions about life purpose, and young adult transitions.
Substance use and recovery issues are part of her area of experience. Marianne draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These approaches shape session structure and homework, but she tailors what she uses to each person's needs.
She aims for clear steps rather than abstract theory. People who choose Marianne usually want practical changes and better day-to-day coping. She guides straightforward conversations about triggers, goals, and next steps.
The focus is on small, sustainable changes that fit real life.

Therapy approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then commit to small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, and finding life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms such as panic or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person leads the pace and goals of therapy.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marianne will work with each person to try methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they check what is helping and adjust the plan over time rather than sticking to one technique from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for more in-depth work, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or people with busy schedules. These options help people access consistent support while fitting therapy into real life.
