Marianne Falk , LPCC

Marianne Falk brings a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative style to clinical counseling, tailoring care to each person's unique situation. She approaches therapy as a partnership - the client is regarded as the expert on their own life while she contributes clinical experience and evidence-informed methods to support change and healing. Marianne emphasizes meeting people where they are and avoiding preconceived solutions, creating a space that values the client’s perspective and pace.

Her practice draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of Dialectical Behavioral approaches, integrating techniques to address patterns of thinking, emotional regulation, and interpersonal connection. She has worked with adults managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, addictions, and major life transitions, among other challenges. Marianne has experience providing both individual and group counseling and has collaborated with psychiatrists when a medication protocol is appropriate.

Marianne is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - LPCC - licensed in Ohio. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Xavier University and a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from the University of Cincinnati. Over nine years of clinical work have included roles in community mental health and inpatient settings at a behavioral health hospital, as well as providing online therapy. She offers an empathetic, client-focused approach aimed at practical coping and meaningful progress.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the therapist offers genuine understanding and acceptance. This approach helps individuals explore self-worth, life purpose, parenting challenges, and feelings of isolation by centering the client’s experience and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it provides practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes by teaching skills for restructuring thinking and testing new behaviors.

Determining the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Marianne draws from these methods to create a tailored plan based on a client’s goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. She works with clients to try interventions, evaluate what helps, and adjust the plan so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how therapy fits into daily life. Video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversation with a licensed professional, while live chat and text-based messaging can provide support between sessions or for those who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to access consistent care around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining connection with a therapist.
