About Me

Headshot of Marianne Daugherty

Hello, I’m Marianne Daughtery, MSSA, LISW, LCSW, a psychotherapist for exceptional individuals who don’t always feel as phenomenal as they truly are. My therapeutic approach is to provide a safe, comfortable space for you to explore all parts of yourself and customize your unique treatment plan according to what the presenting issues are. 

When we work together, I am invested in your progress and, while no two human beings have the same journey through healing – together, we can create and navigate a path that will get you where you want to go.

I work especially well with… 

  • Driven, ambitious, risk-takers,

  • Leaders, entrepreneurs, executives,

  • Individuals approaching mid-life who are navigating their next chapter,

  • Those who struggle with perfectionism, people pleasing, resolving interpersonal conflict, or worrying about what other people think.

Together, we uncover the root of these patterns, apply specialized modalities for healing, and begin to wire new neural pathways for new experiences, behaviors, and the ability to lead and grow in your career.

In terms of my personal approach, I bring compassion, ease, excellence, and a sense of humor to our work together.

I use a variety of modalities in my therapeutic approach and practice.

My approach with each client is fully customized to their needs. We may use some, all, or just a few of the modalities listed, depending on what will most help you.

  • I bring over 6 years of experience working with EMDR, a somatic and cognitive form of psychotherapy, to support clients in reprocessing and healing from a variety of traumas. This technique helps you gradually reprocess memories and change the neural pathways in the brain so your traumatic experiences no longer dictate your beliefs about yourself. 

  • A beautifully fast, evidence-based somatic and cognitive modality that was discovered a couple of years ago by Dr. Philip Manfield, a well-known EMDR trainer and therapist. It has you address trauma without even thinking about it. This gentler, effective approach can be ideal for folks who want to heal without reliving all the pain of their trauma to be able to reprocess it.

  • Developed by Richard Schwartz, this transformative, evidence-based model allows you to access all parts of yourself to lead and create your own healing, because every part of you serves a powerful purpose in your life.

  • We’ll work on the ability to move flexibly and adapt between stressful situations to prevent overwhelm and manage activation, anxiety, numbness, and agitation. This includes paying attention to your heart-rate and incorporating a variety of simple tools to strengthen your vagus nerve and support your progress.

  • An evidence-based approach to alter your negative patterns of thinking, interrupt them, and remove cognitive distortions so you can view your life through a lens that serves you. 

  • Together, we can work through a process to help train you to be more in the present moment and access more self-compassion. This helps you shift out of self-flagellating or ruminating on the past or the future, which can be a source of stress, anxiety, and panic attacks.

  • A more goal-focused, evidence-based approach that incorporates positive psychology principles. Ideal for the person who wants to move through a faster process to create change in their life.
