Marianne Williams, LPCC

Marianne Williams is a Kentucky Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 14 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and life transitions.

She asks clients to name what feels hard and then helps map practical steps forward. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings. Marianne treats each person as the expert on their life and builds on existing strengths rather than starting from scratch.

Her approach mixes practical cognitive strategies with mindfulness and values-based work. That means looking at how thoughts affect behavior, practicing present-moment awareness, and clarifying what matters most to guide choices. Marianne also uses client-centered listening to keep conversations grounded and respectful.

She draws on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing when those tools fit a person’s goals. For someone managing anger, that can mean learning concrete skills for handling triggers, practicing distress-tolerance techniques, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.

Sessions emphasize small experiments and measurable steps, such as short behavioral tasks between appointments. Marianne also supports people facing career stress, intimacy-related issues, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and caregiver strain. She accepts clients who are outside the United States and offers services in English.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
