Marianne Matos

Marianne Matos is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She uses a person-centered approach that centers the client's perspective and priorities. Marianne focuses on helping people build self-esteem and speak up for their needs. She also addresses concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, and caregiving strain.

Marianne has eight years of clinical experience, much of it in crisis settings supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. She holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Her background includes work with adults and older adults as well as direct experience supporting children and young adults in community settings.

In sessions she blends practical tools with supportive listening. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness to help people manage strong emotions. She also uses EMDR approaches when trauma processing is appropriate and wanted by the client.

Clients can expect help addressing sleep and behavioral routines alongside emotional concerns. Marianne has experience supporting those recovering from addiction, coping with life changes, and navigating relationship and intimacy issues. She is committed to working with minority and underserved people and to promoting self-advocacy.

Her work also includes attention to attachment and communication patterns. Marianne’s experience as an Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning informs her perspective, although specific experiential formats should be confirmed before scheduling.
