About Marianne

Marianne Williams is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges around intimacy and anger. Marianne also helps those navigating career changes, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and other life transitions.

Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own life. She listens for strengths and practical options. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that feel doable between appointments. Marianne uses everyday language and straightforward strategies rather than clinical jargon.

She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Client-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy also inform her work when emotional regulation and values-based action are priorities. Techniques are applied in simple, real-world ways people can practice outside sessions.

Marianne has worked across settings where addictions, caregiver stress, and complex emotional problems are common. That background informs how she supports people who feel stuck after a job change, a breakup, health changes, or caregiving strain. She aims to help people identify small, concrete steps that reflect what matters to them.

Sessions proceed at a steady pace, with time for skills practice and reflection. People who prefer clear options and practical tools often find this style useful. If you are wondering what comes next, she helps you weigh choices and try manageable actions toward clearer direction.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and building small actions toward those values. It helps when life feels empty or directionless after big changes and when avoidance keeps someone stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, test new assumptions, and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change and progress is reviewed together.

Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is possible for scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Phone or video options can accommodate quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth, or a shorter check-in when that fits the day's needs. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing, homework, and skills practice to make online work practical and relevant to everyday life.
