About Marcie
Marcie Stover Jividen is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. She also supports those facing parenting concerns and mood challenges like bipolar disorder and ADHD.
Marcie uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. She adapts her approach to each person's needs and pace. Sessions often focus on skills people can use between meetings to manage strong emotions and reduce overwhelming thoughts.
Background and approach
Her work includes trauma-focused methods to help people process intense memories and reactions. She draws on eye movement desensitization and reprocessing alongside cognitive and acceptance-based tools. This combination can help people move past painful events while building better day-to-day coping skills.
Marcie aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity. She emphasizes a collaborative relationship where goals are shaped together. People who value clear guidance and a calm, steady presence tend to do well with her style.
Over two decades of practice has given her experience with a wide range of concerns. That includes obsessive or compulsive patterns, panic attacks, postpartum mood changes, and challenges tied to adoption, attachment, or past abuse. She tailors plans so they match the client's life and priorities.
Practical approaches for online anxiety and trauma support
Marcie uses several evidence-based approaches that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors so anxiety and low mood become easier to manage. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take action based on personal values. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to help people process strong reactions to past events and reduce the intensity of those memories.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or new issues come up.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for longer therapeutic work and skill-building, while phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are options for shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit regular care into busy lives and to keep momentum between appointments.
