About Marianne
Marianne Williams is an LPCC based in Kentucky who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem. She also supports clients facing depression, anger, career uncertainty, bipolar-related concerns, intimacy issues, and coping with life changes. Marianne emphasizes small, practical steps to regain steadiness when things feel overwhelming.
She approaches therapy knowing each person knows their own story best. Sessions focus on building on strengths and making actionable changes. Marianne uses straightforward tools people can try between meetings, such as clear goal-setting and skills for handling strong feelings.
Her work draws from several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with client-centered and mindfulness-based practices. Those methods are used to help with patterns of thinking, emotional regulation, and making values-based choices.
Marianne has 14 years of experience as a licensed professional clinical counselor. She encourages people to notice small progress and to adjust plans when needed. The aim is to create workable strategies for daily life rather than only talking about problems.
People who reach out can expect a collaborative, respectful process. Marianne invites patients to set the pace and to bring real-life concerns into sessions. She also offers support for coping with natural or human-caused disaster and caregiver stress when those issues are part of someone’s current needs.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their values and take small steps toward them, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making decisions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical strategies to change behaviors and mood. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marianne works together with each person to choose which techniques fit best for their goals and circumstances. She encourages trying options and adjusting the plan over time until it feels useful.
The practical benefit of online work is that it can better fit into a busy schedule and make regular meetings easier to keep. Online sessions can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life examples from a person’s day into the conversation.
