Marianne Falk, LPCC

Marianne Falk is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. She takes a practical, down-to-earth approach and focuses on meeting each person where they are. Marianne emphasizes teamwork in sessions, asking clients to share what matters most while she offers guidance and tools.

She uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as core ways of working. That means she listens closely and helps people test thoughts and try small behavior changes. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented when that matches a person's needs.

Marianne has nine years of experience in community mental health and inpatient behavioral health settings. She has provided individual and group counseling and has worked alongside psychiatrists when medication is part of care. That background informs how she handles mood disorders, complex stress, and times of big life change.

People come to her for help with stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. She also addresses parenting stress, relationship and family problems, grief, trauma and abuse, and concerns like codependency or midlife crisis. Marianne supports those navigating career shifts, caregiver strain, and other transitions.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. In sessions she listens, reflects, and offers practical strategies people can use between meetings. She encourages small steps and checks in on what is working so plans can be adjusted as needed.

Using Client-Centered and CBT Online

Marianne works with Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that translate well to online care. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and following what the person brings to the session; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk through life changes. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. Marianne will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods fit best. She adjusts techniques as people try them and gives feedback so the plan changes if it isn't helping.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone continue care during transitions or relocation. Licensed professionals can adapt listening and CBT exercises to an online setting to keep progress moving between sessions.
