About Marianne
Marianne Falk is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio who focuses on practical, person-centered support. She approaches therapy without judgment and works collaboratively with each client. Marianne draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to address stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, mood changes, and other life challenges.
Her style is direct but warm. Sessions aim to identify current problems and develop clear steps to feel better. Marianne values the client’s perspective and treats them as the expert on their life while offering tools and insights from her training.
Background and approach
Marianne trained in psychology and community counseling and has nine years of clinical experience. She has worked in community mental health and in an inpatient behavioral health hospital, providing individual and group counseling. That background gives her familiarity with a range of difficulties, from long-term mental health conditions to acute life transitions.
She has collaborated with psychiatrists when medication is part of care and supports clients who are adjusting to major changes. Marianne also offers online therapy options including video, phone, chat, and text messaging to meet different needs. Parents reading this should know she lists Family and parenting among her areas of focus.
She aims to offer a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk about parenting stress, family problems, or related concerns. If someone wants practical strategies paired with supportive listening, she uses those approaches to help move forward.
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Marianne uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-first space where the client’s own goals guide the work. This approach focuses on understanding someone’s experience and offering empathic support so they feel heard and valued.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides concrete strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, stress, and unhelpful thinking patterns through real-life exercises and small behavior changes.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Marianne reviews goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods to fit what works best. She balances listening with offering practical tools so the plan fits the client’s life and needs.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through different formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions offer a simpler option, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options give flexibility for busy schedules, parenting routines, and those who need therapy from home.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
