About Marianne
Marianne Matos uses a person-centered approach that places the client's experience and goals at the center of the work. She blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral strategies and trauma-focused methods to address concerns like self-esteem, stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Her practice emphasizes helping people build self-advocacy skills and practical coping tools while attending to emotional healing. With eight years of clinical experience in crisis settings, Marianne has focused much of her work on supporting adults affected by domestic violence and sexual assault.
She holds an LPC credential and has worked extensively with adults, including elderly populations, and with children and young people through therapeutic support roles. Marianne’s background also includes training and experience in mindfulness, EMDR, and therapeutic programs that inform her trauma work.
Based in South Carolina, she combines compassionate listening with evidence-informed techniques to help clients navigate life transitions, grief, relationship concerns, ADHD, and other areas of struggle.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Marianne draws on client-centered and attachment-based principles to create a collaborative space where the client’s perspective guides treatment. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and supporting each person’s capacity to grow, which can be useful for concerns like self-esteem, relationship challenges, and grief.She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT provides concrete strategies for managing anxiety, stress, mood symptoms, and challenges related to ADHD by teaching practical coping skills and problem-solving techniques.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Marianne approaches that decision collaboratively. She will work with clients to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting interventions as progress is made so the plan remains relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and use the communication format that feels most comfortable for them.
