About Marianne
Marianne Auger is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life changes. Marianne has also supported those coping with addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and grief, and concerns like sleep, eating, and self-esteem.
She has taught group programs in anger management, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness. Marianne is a certified Mindfulness Instructor and brings those practices into sessions when helpful. Her work often includes coaching elements alongside therapeutic care.
Marianne uses several therapy approaches in session. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversation focused on each person's experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and elements of DBT are used to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and practical skills.
In practice she listens for what feels most useful and adjusts the work to fit each person’s goals. Marianne has experience across a wide range of concerns, including codependency, caregiver stress, chronic illness, gender dysphoria, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. She provides direct, practical support rather than abstract theory.

How sessions work
Therapy approaches used online and what they do
Marianne draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on clarifying personal priorities and practicing actions that align with them, which can help when people feel stuck or overwhelmed.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. CBT offers concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change routines that contribute to sleep or eating problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative process helps match skills-based work, values-focused exercises, or conversational Client-Centered sessions to what a person needs most.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make therapy fit into daily life more easily by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during busy days, or letting people join when they have quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals use these options to help maintain continuity of care while adjusting the pace and tools to fit a client's schedule and needs.
