Marianne Clayburn

Marianne Clayburn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four years of clinical experience based in Utah. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. Marianne also focuses on concerns such as body image, eating and food-related issues, self-harm, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.

She integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a trauma-informed perspective. Sessions involve talking through current struggles, learning practical coping skills, and addressing how past experiences affect daily life. Marianne notes multicultural concerns and workplace stress among areas she commonly addresses.

Marianne’s approach is informed by Christian values and aims to help people develop self-love, forgiveness, and clearer direction when life feels uncertain. She works with mood disorders, panic, postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, and issues tied to isolation or abandonment.

In practice she focuses on problem-solving and skill-building alongside emotional processing. That can include strategies to manage panic attacks, reduce social anxiety, and improve relationships with food and body image. She also assists people working through grief and trauma recovery.

Sessions are conducted in English and Marianne does not accept international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Marianne’s approaches translate to online work

Marianne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a trauma-informed view. One common approach focuses on teaching skills to manage anxiety and panic, such as grounding and breathing strategies alongside short behavioral experiments to reduce avoidance. Another approach centers on processing trauma and grief through paced emotional work and safety planning so people can slowly address painful memories without becoming overwhelmed.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Marianne collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts pace and techniques as therapy progresses and checks in about what is and isn’t helping.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so people can access help from different locations. Licensed professionals can offer approaches like the ones above through remote sessions, and Marianne will help decide how to structure sessions to fit everyday life.
