About Marianne
Marianne Williams is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, and relationship worries. She works with clients dealing with low self-esteem, depression, changes in life, career strain, and issues with intimacy. Marianne writes simply: starting therapy takes courage, and she aims to make that first step easier.
She practices in Kentucky and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work. Marianne believes each person knows their own story and that therapy builds on the client’s strengths.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on practical skills and clear steps rather than long lectures or jargon. Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, and mindfulness practices. That mix helps people learn to notice thoughts without being controlled by them, test helpful behavior changes, and build steady routines for managing mood and urges.
Marianne also uses client-centered principles to keep conversations focused on what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions are grounded and goal-oriented. Clients can expect to set small, measurable goals and to practice skills between meetings.
Marianne tends to keep language plain, offers concrete strategies for coping, and checks in about how techniques are working in real life. People who choose her often want help with impulse control, managing strong feelings, reducing substance use, or getting unstuck after big life events. Marianne supports gradual progress and celebrates small wins along the way.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences dictate behavior. It focuses on values and small committed actions that move someone toward a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, anger, and addictive urges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new, practical behaviors. It offers tools for managing mood, reducing impulsive reactions, and changing behaviors that keep problems going.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. These techniques often pair well with skills from ACT and CBT when managing strong emotions or cravings.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. Adjustments are made over time if something isn’t working.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people see visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, written coaching, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
