About Marianne
Marianne Matos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and parenting concerns. Marianne also works with issues such as addiction, grief, intimacy-related problems, ADHD, and career stress. She offers help in English and sees adults in South Carolina.
Marianne uses a person-centered stance in sessions. That means conversations begin with what matters most to the individual. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when strong emotions or crisis situations need clearer coping tools.
Her background includes crisis and trauma work at a center serving survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. That work shaped a practical focus on safety planning, symptom reduction, and rebuilding confidence after abuse. She also has experience supporting older adults and people with caregiving stress.
Marianne holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. She has worked with children and young adults in educational and therapeutic support roles, and taught dance for many years, which informs her practical approach to movement and routine when appropriate.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Marianne helps people build self-advocacy skills and stronger communication. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and connections within the family context.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Marianne blends person-centered work with cognitive behavioral and attachment-based ideas. Person-centered work focuses conversation on what the client brings and builds trust through attentive listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns from early relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current family roles and parenting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean starting with practical CBT skills, adding DBT strategies for emotion regulation, or exploring attachment themes over several sessions.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm available formats before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days because they can cut commute time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or make it easier to keep appointments when care responsibilities are heavy. Therapists and licensed professionals can also adapt exercises, worksheets, and behavioral homework to work in a remote setting so progress can continue between meetings.
