About Marianne
Marianne Auger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts with 16 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and coping with life changes, and she also addresses concerns such as addictions, grief, intimacy difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, and career strain.
She has worked across age groups and has led groups including anger management, DBT, and mindfulness. Marianne is a certified Mindfulness Instructor and brings those group teaching experiences into individual work when appropriate. Her background includes helping people navigate trauma, relationship issues, and caregiver stress.
Marianne uses several clinical methods in her sessions. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Client-Centered Therapy. She adapts conversations and interventions to what a person needs in the moment instead of following a single script.
In practical sessions she focuses on skills people can use between meetings - managing strong impulses, shifting unhelpful thinking, and building routines that support better sleep and mood. Marianne also offers coaching-style guidance when goals are practical, such as career decisions or parenting strain.
Her approach aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity while helping them try concrete steps that reduce anger and daily stress. To begin, prospective clients follow the platform's matching process and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options flow.
How Marianne uses evidence-based methods in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking concrete steps that matter to the person. It helps when anger or anxiety get in the way of what you want to do. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and interpersonal skills; it can help with strong emotions and reactive behavior.Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the process. Marianne works collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She may combine skills practice, mindfulness exercises, and brief coaching tasks to meet immediate problems and longer-term goals.

Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to whatever format is arranged, and Marianne draws on ACT, CBT, and DBT skills to keep sessions practical and goal-focused.
