About Marianne
Marianne Matos is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in South Carolina with eight years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship and family issues. Marianne also lists trauma and crisis work among her areas of focus and supports people dealing with grief, addiction, and caregiving stress.
She uses a person-centered approach in sessions, prioritizing the client's perspective and goals. Marianne combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early family roles and expectations affect current relationships and responses.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. For the past eight years she has worked in a crisis center setting supporting adults who experienced domestic violence and sexual assault. That work shaped her focus on crisis response and trauma support for adults and older adults.
Marianne has experience supporting people with parenting and caregiver stress, as well as those navigating life transitions like career change or aging-related concerns. She has professional experience with clients who have ADHD, bipolar disorder, and substance-related problems, and she integrates practical coping skills into sessions.
In practice she emphasizes clear communication, workable strategies, and exploring how family-of-origin patterns continue to shape daily life. People meet to talk through current problems, learn skills for managing symptoms, and work toward clearer boundaries and self-advocacy.
How Marianne’s approaches translate to online sessions
Marianne works from a person-centered foundation, which means sessions focus on each client's priorities and what they want to change. That approach supports straightforward conversations about family roles, boundaries, and practical goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work means identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, or stress. Attachment-based ideas help connect current relationship patterns to family-of-origin experiences and explore ways to form clearer boundaries and healthier interactions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Marianne will discuss different methods and adjust based on a client's concerns, goals, and preferences. Clients and therapist together decide which strategies to try and how to apply them between sessions.
