Marianne Auger

Marianne Auger is a licensed mental health counselor (MA LMHC) based in Massachusetts with 16 years of clinical experience. She emphasizes a respectful, compassionate approach and focuses on practical steps people can use to handle stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions.

Her work often includes teaching skills-based groups such as anger management and DBT and offering mindfulness practices. She identifies mindfulness as a core part of her style and is a certified Mindfulness Instructor. These tools are paired with therapies that focus on values, behavior, and problem solving.

Marianne adapts sessions to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all recipe. She aims to build a plan that fits daily life and personal goals. Conversations are direct but warm, with an emphasis on skills people can try between sessions.

She has supported people around depression, coping with loss, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges such as sleep or eating difficulties. Marianne also notes experience with a range of other concerns including chronic pain, caregiver stress, obsessive behaviors, and gender-related issues.

Those who choose to work with her begin with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decisions during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and trying practical experiments to change how things feel and work in daily life. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and it’s useful when strong emotions or relationship problems interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. She will check in and adjust strategies as the work proceeds so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people practice skills in the settings where they live. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to support skill learning, values-based work, and step-by-step behavior change without promising a specific outcome.
