Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Attachment-based ideas guide work on long-standing patterns in relationships, such as fear of abandonment, codependency, or difficulty trusting others. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be introduced for emotion regulation and for improving communication under stress.

She also offers a faith-centered perspective for people who want spiritual guidance alongside mental health care. Marcia aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can name their struggles and try new ways of coping. With five years of experience as an LPC, Marcia focuses on plain language and doable strategies.

Her work often addresses chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, and the aftereffects of trauma and abuse. She helps people practice new behaviors, repair communication, and recover a sense of agency.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most to them and take small actions that align with those values, which can reduce avoidance around anxiety and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to lessen symptoms of anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that repeat in close relationships and helps people form more dependable ways of relating and communicating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marcia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and everyday constraints. That collaborative planning can shift over time as needs change and as different skills are practiced.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, live chat gives a mid-length check-in option, and text messaging supports quick check-ins or continued skill practice between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep up with practice between sessions.
