About Marsha
LPCC in Kentucky with nine years' experience, Marsha Nan Poland Cooper works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, parenting concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, and life changes. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy and encourages clients to take an active role in sessions. Nan also addresses codependency, commitment issues, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, family problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, Seasonal Affective Disorder, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues.
Nan began in clinic work and provided services linked to the school system before opening a private practice five years ago. She earned a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in Education from Western Kentucky University. Her clinical years include both community and private-practice experience that shape how she meets people in sessions.
In session she keeps things practical and action-oriented. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, achievable steps toward the client’s goals. Nan gives occasional homework assignments so progress continues between appointments.
Sessions are collaborative; clients are expected to participate and try strategies outside the meeting. She focuses on concrete skills for managing mood, anxiety, relationship patterns, and parenting stress. Progress is measured by changes in daily routines, thinking patterns, and relationship interactions.
Her work style suits people who prefer direct guidance, clear strategies, and tasks to practice between meetings. Nan sees clients in Kentucky and conducts sessions in English. If unsure about session formats, confirm current options before booking.

How her approaches guide online work
Many of her sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, SAD, social anxiety, and stress-related problems. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and clear goals so clients can try changes quickly and measure results.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines with the client and recommend whether CBT, Solution-Focused techniques, or a blend fits best. The decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also support homework review and real-world practice between meetings. Ask about specific session logistics during the initial scheduling steps so sessions fit into your everyday life.
