About Marianne

Marianne Penichet is an LCSW practicing in Florida with 26 years of clinical experience supporting people through significant life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on a long career working with concerns such as relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, and ADHD, while also addressing issues like self-esteem, grief, intimacy, and career transitions.

Her background includes work with a broad range of mood and behavioral concerns and related areas such as attachment difficulties, post-traumatic stress, chronic illness, and multicultural matters. Marianne approaches therapy with the belief that each person knows their story best and brings strengths that can be mobilized for change.

She blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with collaborative listening to help clients clarify goals and build momentum. Prospective clients can expect a supportive practitioner who frames growth as a courageous process and offers tools tailored to individual needs, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused strategies when appropriate.

Approaches That Guide Online Work and Growth

Marianne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; this approach is often applied for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns by teaching practical skills for managing mood and reactions.

She also integrates Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative method that helps people clarify their goals and strengthen internal motivation for change, which can be useful for issues like addiction, behavior change, or stages of ambivalence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marianne works together with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and goal-focused.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or work, make it easier to maintain continuity when life is busy, and support ongoing work between sessions through chat or messaging when appropriate.
