About Marianne
Marianne Matos is a Licensed Professional Counselor who centers therapy on attachment and the person in front of her. She works to help people understand how early relationships shape current struggles. Her style is direct and practical, focusing on skills that make daily life feel more manageable.
Marianne has eight years of clinical experience, much of it supporting people after crisis and trauma. She has worked at a crisis center helping adults who experienced domestic violence and sexual assault.
Background and approach
She also brings experience supporting elders and people facing major life transitions. Her sessions draw on client-centered care and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. She uses elements of dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and grounding skills.
EMDR has been part of her work when trauma processing is needed. Marianne often helps people with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, grief, and recovery from abuse. She also supports concerns related to addiction, eating and sleeping issues, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy-related problems.
She is attentive to identity-related issues, including LGBT concerns. Her background includes a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Marianne describes herself as someone who values clear communication and practical steps in therapy.
She aims to help people leave sessions with tools they can use the same week.

Online support
Attachment work and practical therapies online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence present feelings and behaviors; it can help people understand patterns in relationships and reduce repeating painful dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validation, and the client's own goals; it helps people build self-advocacy and increase confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which approach or combination feels best for their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may shift over time as goals change and progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit care into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or have shorter, focused conversations. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping ongoing support accessible.
