Marianne Matos, LPC

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Existential and client-centered work are central parts of Marianne’s approach. Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice, and how people relate to life’s big questions; it can help when someone feels stuck, adrift, or overwhelmed by change. Client-centered therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and prioritizes the client’s pace and priorities. She also uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships. That approach can help when someone wants clearer boundaries, better communication, or to heal from past hurts that affect current relationships. Marianne aims to combine these perspectives so clients can both make practical changes and reflect on deeper patterns. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to try methods that fit their goals and comfort level, adjusting the focus over time based on what helps most. The plan is shaped by the client’s needs and preferences, not a fixed formula. Online therapy offers practical options for fitting care into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or people who process better in writing. These formats give flexibility while keeping the therapeutic conversation consistent.
