Marsha Nan Poland Cooper, LPCC

Marsha Nan Poland Cooper is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) practicing in Kentucky with nine years of experience. She calls herself Nan and uses straightforward, action-focused work with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, and family-related problems. She often helps people who face anger, intimacy concerns, and challenges like codependency or commitment issues.

Nan began in a clinic setting and worked with clients connected to the school system before opening a private practice five years ago. She holds a BA and a Master of Arts in Education from Western Kentucky University. Her clinical work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to keep sessions goal-directed and practical.

Sessions are collaborative and task-oriented. Nan prefers that clients take an active role and sometimes uses homework between meetings to build new skills. That might mean trying a small behavior change, practicing a different way of talking about problems, or testing a coping strategy between sessions.

Her approach is direct and practical. She helps people break big problems into smaller steps. For parents or adults managing family stress, she focuses on manageable changes that fit everyday life.

Nan’s background in schools and clinics informs how she structures work. She brings clearing steps, short-term goals, and concrete tools to conversations about grief, separation, and parenting strain. Prospective clients should confirm the current session formats before booking.
