01About Marianne
Marianne Williams is a licensed therapist in Kentucky who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and depression. She brings 14 years of experience and a practical, down-to-earth approach that aims to make the first steps feel less overwhelming.
Marianne acknowledges how hard it can be to reach out and encourages people to be gentle with themselves during that process. In sessions she centers the client's experience and treats each person as the expert on their life.
Background and approach
She listens for strengths and then helps clients use those strengths to face problems like anger, impulsivity, or career transitions. Marianne works in clear, concrete ways so people can try small changes between meetings. Her approach combines methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy along with person-centered techniques.
That mix lets her address patterns of thought and behavior while also paying attention to values and present-moment awareness. She uses evidence-informed tools without overwhelming clients with jargon. Marianne has also worked with issues related to aging, caregiver stress, codependency, addiction to drugs or alcohol, and responses to loss or separation.
She supports people dealing with intimacy struggles, commitment worries, and feelings of emptiness or shame. Sessions focus on manageable goals and skills people can use in daily life. People who prefer online options can connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Marianne aims to match her style to each person’s needs and to help them build realistic plans for change.

04Online support
Approach and online therapy that fits your life
Marianne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that are easy to follow. ACT focuses on helping people get clearer about their values and take small actions that match what matters. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful cycles.She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy ideas, which means sessions are built around listening and responding to each person’s experience. Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work together. Marianne will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time in collaboration with the client.
Online formats let people access therapy with more flexibility. Video calls work well for conversations that benefit from face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
