Marianne Williams, LPCC

Marianne Williams is an LPCC who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports people facing career strain, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and major life transitions. Marianne works with caregivers and people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, as well as those coping with compassion fatigue and other weariness from sustained caretaking or high emotional demand.

She believes each person knows their own story and brings their strengths into sessions. Marianne uses a practical, down-to-earth approach that focuses on what will help in daily life. She encourages small, manageable steps and values collaboration on goals.

In sessions she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods, plus elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness. That mix lets her cover thought patterns, behavior changes, emotion regulation, and present-moment awareness depending on what a person needs.

Marianne has 14 years of experience working in clinical settings and community care. Her background includes helping people with substance use and with the relationship and communication problems that often come with stress and life changes. She brings steady support and practical tools rather than quick fixes.

Her practice is based in Kentucky and she offers services in English. People who are considering starting therapy can expect a straightforward, respectful conversation about goals and options before scheduling next steps.

How Marianne’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make values-based choices. It focuses on small actions that match what matters most, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep problems going, such as unhelpful thinking or avoidance.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and pace. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and supports the person in finding their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can include mixing approaches over time as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Generally online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow check-ins that are shorter when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people meet with a licensed professional who understands caregiver stress, aging concerns, addiction recovery, and relationship challenges without rearranging a whole day.
