About Marianne
Marianne Falk is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions using a client-centered stance. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental and she treats each person as the expert on their own life.

Background and approach
Sessions often include straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Her background includes nine years working in community mental health and an inpatient behavioral health hospital. Marianne has led both individual and group counseling and has collaborated with psychiatrists on medication plans when clients needed that support.
She also has experience delivering therapy online. In the room she focuses on immediate needs like coping skills for anxiety, managing mood swings, and problem-solving around parenting stress and caregiving burden. She also helps with grief, addiction concerns, relationship and family problems, and career-related stress.
Marianne uses clear steps and check-ins so progress is visible. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical homework, and a steady focus on what matters most to them. Marianne aims to make therapy feel useful and manageable, not overwhelming.
Working with client-centered and CBT approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building a trusting relationship. Marianne focuses on understanding each person's experience and follows the client's lead to set goals and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort through feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Marianne often introduces short activities and homework that target anxiety, low mood, ADHD-related challenges, and stress. These tools aim to make daily routines and coping strategies easier to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marianne works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is helping and what is not.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy lives. Video allows for face-to-face conversation, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging lets clients share updates between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and day-to-day obligations.
