Marianne Matos, LPC

Marianne Matos is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina who centers therapy around the person in front of her. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Her work emphasizes building self-advocacy and practical coping skills that clients can use between sessions.

Marianne draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She has used cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and EMDR across her practice. This blend supports people dealing with crisis, trauma, and long-term struggles such as addiction, grief, and mood concerns.

She has eight years of experience working in a crisis center setting, assisting people affected by domestic violence and sexual assault. Marianne also has experience supporting older adults and has worked with children and young adults in educational and therapeutic roles. That background informs how she sees safety, development, and daily challenges.

Marianne earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. She is also a National Certified Counselor and an Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning through PATH International. Those experiences feed into a practical style that looks for clear next steps.

People who come to Marianne can expect straightforward conversations, active skill-building, and collaborative goal-setting. She aims to help people find clearer ways to cope, communicate, and make decisions that fit their lives.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to identify recurring relationship habits and practice new ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental space where the person leads the conversation. In remote sessions this means the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities while reflecting and clarifying what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Online CBT can teach concrete tools for managing anxiety, improving sleep, and changing unhelpful behaviors through homework and short skills practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marianne will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day needs. She adapts techniques as progress is observed and priorities shift.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about session length, pacing, and any practical needs so therapy can fit into everyday life.
