About Marianne

Marianne Williams is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 14 years of experience. She works with adults who face stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, intimacy concerns, anger, and life changes. Marianne also addresses issues such as caregiver stress, codependency, and career doubts.

Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills rather than labels. She listens for what matters to each person and helps them try new ways of responding to difficult situations.

Marianne uses a mix of methods that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness practices. That variety lets her match techniques to what a person needs in the moment. Expect concrete tools you can use between sessions to manage emotions and behavior.

In session she pays attention to patterns that keep people putting others first or avoiding their own needs. Conversations often look at boundaries, communication habits, and steps toward more consistent choices. There is work on impulse control, shame, and rebuilding a sense of self outside of others' expectations.

Her background includes many years helping people cope with addictions and relationship-related problems. Marianne encourages steady, manageable changes rather than quick fixes. If you are juggling caregiving, career stress, or recovery concerns, she helps break those pressures into clearer next steps.

How sessions work

Approaches and how they translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It focuses on willingness to feel difficult thoughts while acting in ways that align with chosen goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and impulse control. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple practices that improve attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity to strong emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Marianne collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adjusts techniques based on what a person finds most helpful and on progress over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by cutting travel time or enabling shorter check-ins during a workday. They also allow practicing skills in familiar settings and can make it simpler to maintain continuity during busy periods. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises for remote sessions so clients leave with concrete steps to try between meetings.
