Marianne Matos, LPC

Marianne Matos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and codependency among other issues. She also supports people facing caregiver strain and aging-related challenges. Marianne uses a person-centered stance and blends several therapy methods in her sessions.

Clients can expect straightforward talk and practical skills work. Marianne draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how earlier relationships shape current patterns, especially around boundaries and giving too much to others.

Her background includes work in a crisis center focused on domestic violence and sexual assault, and she has clinical experience supporting adults and older adults. Marianne holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. She also has experience working with children and young adults in community programs and in therapeutic support roles.

In session she often combines client-centered listening with structured interventions from CBT and DBT when useful. Marianne has used EMDR and mindfulness approaches in her practice as well. She emphasizes learning self-advocacy skills, managing intense emotions, and improving communication without shaming or blaming.

People who keep putting others first, struggle to say no, or find their relationships draining will find practical tools and steady input. She works in English and provides counseling within South Carolina.
