Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. Marcell has worked across inpatient and outpatient settings and has experience with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and major depression. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, and career stress.
Her background includes leadership roles in clinical settings where she guided care teams and helped shape treatment plans. In sessions she focuses on concrete skills and small steps. Clients practice tools for managing panic, improving communication, and coping with life changes.
Therapy often mixes short skill-building work with reflective conversations about values and goals. Marcell uses a collaborative style and adapts methods to each person’s needs. She helps people set realistic goals, track progress, and adjust plans when needed.
The aim is steady, practical progress toward better daily functioning and self-understanding.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce panic symptoms and depressive thinking. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience and priorities, giving space for reflection and building trust over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and use that conversation to shape sessions. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as needs change, blending approaches when it helps.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for teaching skills and practicing exercises. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection between sessions and quick check-ins when a scheduled call is not possible. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and keep continuity during life transitions.
