I have been working for BetterHelp since May 2020 and find this platform user-friendly and extremely successful in helping clients reach their highest potential.

It would be a privilege to walk with you through your journey. You are not alone. I look forward to meeting you.

Hello! My name is Marian Bach. I have worked in the mental health field for the past 25 years. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, Certified Addictions Professional, Certified Life Coach and National Certified Counselor. My goal over my years of working with many, many clients has been to help them learn how and to practice moving forward from suffering and dysfunction to living in wellness and positive purpose in life and life style. Some of the issues I have helped clients with are various trauma experiences, self esteem building, food and/or body image problems, as well as coaching for career choice concerns, educational problems and any unclear situation that might require dissecting and guidance from a non-judgmental "eye'. My style is warm and comfortable. I am respectful and encouraging. I empathize with my client's problems and help to separate emotions from behaviors. I am very solution focused. I definitely work to get into the solution and help my clients move that way as well. I feel it is very brave of someone to come and ask for help for themselves. I like to help clients learn about and practice mindfulness and learn how to appreciate what is positive in their lives by practicing daily gratitude. I am looking forward to meeting you and being your good listener, guide, and us working as a team to help you build and live in inner peace.

Most people don’t work with me because things are “kind of hard.” They come because something isn’t working anymore. Individuals often reach out feeling anxious, discouraged, or emotionally worn down—stuck in looping thoughts, struggling to find motivation, and wondering why even small things feel harder than they should. Couples often arrive after the same arguments keep repeating, followed by long stretches of silence or emotional distance, both partners feeling misunderstood and unsure how to break the cycle. I work with both individuals and couples who want more than surface-level relief. My approach is practical, forward-looking, and focused on helping you understand what’s happening beneath the patterns you’re stuck in—so you can begin making real, sustainable changes. Working With Individuals When anxiety or depression has been present for a while, it often shows up as a mix of emotional heaviness, high anxiety, low motivation, and strain in relationships. Many individuals I work with feel mentally exhausted and frustrated with themselves for not “handling things better,” even though they’re trying. My work with individuals focuses on helping you understand your emotional patterns, regulate intense feelings, and develop practical skills for managing symptoms in everyday life. Rather than just talking about what hurts, we work toward clarity and direction—so you know what you’re dealing with and what to do when symptoms show up. Clients often say they feel more hopeful within the first few weeks because they finally have a clear sense of what’s going on and a realistic plan for addressing it. Early wins—such as improved emotion regulation—help rebuild confidence and momentum. Working With Couples Couples usually come to me caught in a familiar cycle: frequent, recurring conflict followed by long periods of silence or emotional withdrawal. Arguments tend to repeat, resolution feels temporary, and both partners are left feeling disconnected or defeated. In my work with couples, I focus on helping each partner understand their relationship blueprint—their expectations, assumptions, and ways of relating—and how those differ from their partner’s. Most couples aren’t struggling because one person is wrong. They’re struggling because their expectations are misaligned, and each assumes the other’s way of relating is the problem. As couples gain insight into these differences and develop new skills, conflict typically becomes less frequent, less intense, and shorter in duration. Communication improves, emotional safety increases, and repair becomes more possible. A Practical, Coaching-Oriented Approach My style is often described as more coaching-oriented than traditional counseling. While we don’t ignore past experiences, our work is primarily forward-looking. Understanding the past can be helpful, but it isn’t required for significant, meaningful change. I focus on teaching practical skills, setting clear goals together, and helping clients stay accountable to what they say they want for themselves and their relationships. This includes structured homework, weekly review, and ongoing adjustment—so insight turns into real-world change. Many clients tell me this approach has been more effective than years of standard counseling. Who Is a Good Fit? Individuals tend to do best in my work if they’re looking not just for emotional support (though you'll get that), but also for practical help managing anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm. Couples tend to do best when both partners are committed to making the marriage work, even if they feel discouraged or disconnected right now. If you value clarity, structure, and actionable change—and you’re willing to engage the process—my approach is likely a strong fit. Faith and Values I work respectfully with clients from a variety of backgrounds and belief systems. I will never proselytize or impose my personal faith on anyone. At the same time, I’m comfortable engaging faith as a meaningful part of life and relationships when clients want that included. For Christian individuals and couples, I’m able to honor and work within our faith commitments in a thoughtful, grounded way. For those who are not religious, our work remains practical, focused, and fully respectful of your worldview. My background includes an MS in Counselor Education from Mississippi State University, an MDiv from Baylor University, and a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Florida. I’ve served as a psychologist and professor in university settings and am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the state of Florida.
