About Marsha Nan Poland Cooper

Marsha Nan Poland Cooper, known to clients as Nan, brings nine years of clinical experience to her practice as a licensed LPCC - a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. She earned both a BA and a Master of Arts in Education (MAE) from Western Kentucky University and began her career working in a clinic setting where she also provided services to students through the school system. Over time she transitioned into private practice, opening her own practice five years ago and finding that she values the independence and focus it allows.

Nan emphasizes collaborative care, inviting clients to take an active role in sessions and in shaping their therapeutic work. She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and she often assigns brief, practical homework to support progress between sessions. Her approach is goal-oriented and adaptable, blending CBT principles with solution-focused ideas to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem, grief, parenting challenges, and life transitions.
