About Marianne
Marianne Costales-Roman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 27 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, LGBTQ issues, parenting strains, trauma, grief, and related challenges. Marianne works in both English and Spanish to reach a wider community.
She focuses on practical steps people can take when life feels overwhelming. Sessions address everyday problems like sleeping and eating difficulties, workplace pressure, caregiving strain, and career questions. She also supports people dealing with identity questions, body image, and intimacy-related issues.
Her approach combines several methods to fit what each person needs. Marianne uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build committed action. Client-centered and emotionally focused ideas shape how she listens and responds in session.
Marianne pays attention to family of origin issues, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care concerns, and separation or divorce stress. She also helps with codependency, commitment and communication problems, and managing anger or dissociation when those show up in daily life.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversations about goals and steps to try between sessions. She uses her long experience to help people develop coping tools for both sudden crises and ongoing life changes. To begin, clients use the platform matching process to schedule a first appointment.
BHow sessions work
How Marianne's approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that reflect those values. It can help when anxiety, depression, or life changes make choices feel stalled. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, sleep and eating disruptions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting back what a person is saying so they can find their own solutions and build stronger communication.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Marianne treats that decision as collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, try an approach, and adjust based on how it feels and what practical progress is made.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, reduce travel time, and let someone join from a location with quieter surroundings. Therapists and licensed professionals will discuss scheduling, session length, and any accommodations during the first meeting to help therapy fit everyday life.
