About Marianne
Marianne Blackmore is a BACP counsellor practising in Kentucky with five years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression and related concerns listed in her profile, including parenting strain, self-esteem, compassion fatigue and addiction. Marianne also notes support for people facing career changes, relationship difficulties and sleep problems.
She places direct emphasis on building a steady, trusting relationship first. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now and understanding patterns that affect daily life. Marianne uses creativity in sessions when appropriate, and values the client’s own knowledge about their life.
Her background includes work in education, with carers and in creative industries and transport. This gives her a range of everyday contexts to draw on when discussing work stress, carer strain and role changes. She aims to help people notice what is keeping problems going and to try practical steps that change routines and responses.
Marianne combines Client-Centred Therapy with Motivational Interviewing and Psychodynamic Therapy. That mix supports people who want straightforward conversations, help finding motivation or a chance to look at long‑standing patterns. She also lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency and issues for people who are hearing impaired.
Sessions are offered in English and American Sign Language where indicated. For people considering online options, the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. The therapist follows the person’s lead and reflects their experience to help them feel understood and to notice options for change.Motivational Interviewing looks at ambivalence and what motivates someone to act. It uses questions and reflective feedback to help clarify goals and encourage small, achievable steps for change, which can suit issues like burnout, addiction and low motivation.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to recurring patterns and past influences that shape current responses. It can help people see how long‑running habits affect relationships, work and self‑esteem and support slow, deeper shifts in how someone understands themselves.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Marianne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on their goals, preferences and what emerges in early sessions. That choice can change as therapy progresses and as different needs arise.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check‑ins when time is limited and remove travel time. It also means people can choose whether to use video, audio or another supported method once formats are confirmed with the provider.
