About Marianne Blackmore
Marianne Blackmore is a therapist based in Kentucky with five years of professional experience and a BACP credential. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognized professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She draws on that training to offer compassionate, evidence-informed support to people navigating stress, relationship challenges, parenting pressures, and major life transitions.
She places strong emphasis on building a trusting therapeutic relationship, believing that connection and empathy are central to meaningful change. Marianne has worked across education, with carers - including parents and those who care for the elderly - and within creative industries and transport, and she often weaves creative approaches into sessions when helpful. Her practice supports a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, compassion fatigue, self-esteem and confidence, addiction-related issues, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, anger, career challenges, and relationship or family problems. Additional areas of focus include body image, caregiver stress, codependency, dissociation, and issues particular to the hearing impaired.
Marianne views clients as experts in their own lives and helps them explore strengths, build coping strategies, and work through uncertainty such as imposter syndrome, ambiguous loss, or major change. She offers therapy in English and American Sign Language, and she approaches each partnership with curiosity, respect, and a practical focus on the goals that matter most to the person seeking support.

Therapeutic Approaches Online and What They Offer
Marianne combines client-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas to shape online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply, reflecting the client’s experience, and creating a supportive space where people can explore feelings and values - it often helps with anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps clients clarify their own reasons for change and strengthen motivation - it can be especially useful for addictive behaviors, ambivalence, and making life adjustments. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns that arise from past experiences and relationships to bring insight into current challenges and recurring difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Marianne works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the style of sessions as those priorities evolve. She frames therapy as a partnership in which client experience guides the work.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access regular support around busy schedules or when travel is difficult. For many people these options increase consistency and make it simpler to integrate therapy into daily life while working with registered professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual circumstances.
