Marianne Falk, LPCC

She works with adults to address parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, addiction, trauma, grief, and mood differences such as bipolar and seasonal affective disorder. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she sees the client as the expert on their own life.

She uses approaches drawn from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), tailoring each session to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and better ways to handle upsetting feelings. Marianne emphasizes collaboration so clients take an active role in shaping therapy goals.

She also works with those facing postpartum depression, grief, anger, and career-related strain. Sessions aim to build coping skills and clearer next steps.

Her work favors plain language and practical strategies. Marianne asks questions, listens without judgment, and partners with each person to find workable changes. To begin, readers should use the site Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How client-centered and CBT work in online therapy

Marianne draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, reflecting, and creating a respectful space so people feel heard. This approach helps when someone needs a steady place to talk through life transitions, caregiver stress, or feelings of isolation.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, concrete changes. CBT is often helpful for managing anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that come up in relationships or daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marianne treats therapy as a collaboration and will help determine which techniques match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Clients can expect to set goals, try out practical tools, and adjust the plan as they learn what fits.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people keep continuity of care while working with a licensed professional in Ohio.
