Marianne Falk, LPCC

Marianne Falk is a licensed clinical counselor who approaches therapy with a flexible, individualized perspective. She meets each person without judgment and works collaboratively, viewing clients as experts on their own lives while contributing clinical experience and practical strategies. Marianne integrates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral techniques to tailor care to what each client needs in the moment.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Xavier University and a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from the University of Cincinnati. As an LPCC - a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - in Ohio, Marianne has built a practice focused on supporting adults through life transitions, chronic mental health challenges, and a range of emotional concerns. Her clinical background includes work in community mental health settings, inpatient behavioral health hospitals, and online therapy, providing both individual and group counseling.

Marianne has collaborated closely with psychiatrists when medication management is appropriate and draws on that collaborative experience when planning care. Her style is warm, nonjudgmental, and focused on helping clients identify practical steps forward. She aims to create a therapeutic team with each person she works with, supporting their goals with empathy and evidence-informed techniques.

Approaches and Online Care for Personal Growth

Marianne commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting clients to find their own solutions. This approach helps people who need a compassionate space to explore feelings, make decisions, and build self-understanding. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Marianne works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit best with their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She adapts techniques as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Marianne offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can still provide thoughtful, evidence-informed care through these remote formats, helping clients move toward clearer coping strategies and meaningful change.
