01About Marianne
Marianne Matos is a licensed professional counselor who uses a person-centered approach to guide sessions. She focuses on building self-esteem and teaching people how to advocate for themselves. Marianne draws on several evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and life changes.
She has eight years of counseling experience, including work in a crisis center supporting people affected by domestic violence and sexual assault. Marianne has also worked with adults facing caregiving stress, aging concerns, and the effects of trauma.
Background and approach
Her background includes helping people with addiction, mood concerns, grief, and relationship issues. In sessions she blends Client-Centered Therapy with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships.
This mix lets her tailor work to things like coping skills, emotion regulation, and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns. Marianne also brings experience from community services and therapeutic support roles. She has supported children and young adults in educational settings and has long personal experience as an instructor.
That variety informs a flexible, down-to-earth style in sessions. People meet her to address immediate crises and to build longer-term skills. She works with concerns such as trauma, depression, compassion fatigue, ADHD, eating and sleeping issues, and career or parenting stress.
Sessions are offered in English and take place within South Carolina practice settings.

04Online support
How attachment work and practical therapies translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of connecting and setting boundaries. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding; the therapist offers empathy and reflection so people feel heard as they talk through concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and coping with stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the person to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean blending attachment ideas with CBT skills or using DBT strategies when emotional regulation is a priority.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video can support in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone calls use less bandwidth and suit brief check-ins, and chat or messaging can work for quick reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and accessible across different schedules and routines.
