About Marianne
Marianne Williams is a Kentucky Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, motivation and self-esteem. She also supports people facing depression, anger, intimacy-related issues, career questions, bipolar challenges, and major life changes.
Her approach is practical and structured. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different ways of responding. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques when those methods fit the situation.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable steps. She emphasizes skills people can use between meetings, such as tracking patterns, testing new behaviors, and building emotion regulation tools. Conversations are direct and organized so progress can be measured over time.
Marianne has worked across settings that exposed her to addiction, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and trauma from disasters. That background informs how she plans interventions and sets realistic short-term targets.
She welcomes people who want a practical path forward and who are ready to try specific strategies for change. Before a first session, she asks about current struggles and what a reasonable first step would look like. This helps set an initial plan and next actions.
How cognitive and acceptance approaches work online
Marianne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way. CBT sessions often involve setting clear goals, practicing specific skills, and reviewing short between-session tasks to see what changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings are present; it helps when avoidance or uncertainty gets in the way.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy methods to keep the focus on each person’s priorities and to support practical problem solving. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that make sense together, adjusting as they go.
