About Marianne

Marianne Blackmore is a counsellor based in Kentucky who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She aims to create a calm, empathic space where clients can talk through what feels hard. Marianne stresses building a trusting relationship as the basis for change and works at a steady, practical pace.

She blends a client-centred way of working with motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas. That means sessions often begin by listening closely to what matters most to the person in front of her, then exploring motivations and the patterns that keep problems going.

Background and approach

Marianne encourages creativity in sessions and uses plain examples to make emotional material easier to understand. Her background includes roles in education, carer support, the creative sector and transport. Marianne has five years of professional experience and draws on that variety when helping people facing burnout, compassion fatigue or life transitions.

She also helps with sleep problems, anger, addictions, career issues, and low self-esteem. Marianne supports a wide range of concerns linked to family life, relationships and identity, including LGBT issues, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, and body image. Additional focus areas include abandonment, codependency, dissociation and caregiver stress.

She notes experience communicating with people who are hearing impaired. Sessions are offered in English and American Sign Language. Practical next steps are to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits with the therapist's availability.

How Marianne's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. Online sessions give space for the person to say what matters, and the therapist reflects and clarifies to help people feel understood. This approach suits anyone needing support with anxiety, low mood or relationship pressures.

Motivational interviewing helps people notice their own reasons for change and build momentum. In video or phone work Marianne uses gentle questions and summaries to uncover what someone values and to set small, practical steps forward. This can be useful for issues like addiction, motivation and making life changes.

Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that repeat in relationships and feelings from the past. In a remote setting this may involve discussing recurring themes and feelings so clients can recognise and shift those patterns over time. It can help with longstanding struggles such as low self-esteem, abandonment or codependency.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Marianne will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made. This is a collaborative process that centres the client's priorities.

Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls are close to face-to-face work, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or flexible daily support. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and caring commitments, while still engaging in meaningful therapeutic work.
