Background and approach

She emphasizes small, sustainable changes that add up over weeks and months. Her approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s goals. Marci helps people gain insight into patterns that keep them stuck and then practices new ways of responding.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to reduce anxiety and strengthen resilience. People often seek help for relationships, depression, trauma and abuse, or stress tied to caregiving and work. Marci also works with concerns related to adoption and foster care, first responder issues, family of origin, and women’s issues among others.

She draws on her years of experience to adapt sessions to what each person needs. Marci offers sessions in English and practices from Indiana. She provides flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

If someone wants to try therapy, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire to find a good fit and schedule sessions accordingly.

Evidence-based approaches for online anxiety care

Marci uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on reducing anxiety and building resilience. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and thought-management techniques to interrupt worry and reduce daily stress. These exercises are practical and intended for use between sessions to help during spikes of anxiety.

She also emphasizes problem-solving and behavioral planning to change routines that contribute to burnout. This involves breaking larger problems into small steps, testing new habits, and tracking what helps. For issues tied to trauma or abuse, the work focuses on stabilizing symptoms and increasing the person’s sense of safety in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and personal preferences together and adjust methods over time. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan fits their life and priorities.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping focus on steady progress.
