About Markita
Markita Couch is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, and the effects of trauma. She works with preteens, teens, young adults, and adults who want clearer coping tools and steadier emotional ground. Her approach centers on practical steps people can use day to day.
She writes in a calm, direct way and keeps sessions focused on what a person needs now. Her work often begins with identifying patterns that cause pain or leave someone feeling stuck.
Background and approach
From there she introduces simple skills to manage intense feelings and to rebuild routines that support wellbeing. She emphasizes emotional regulation, resilience, and making small changes that add up over time. Markita has four years of clinical experience in Florida as an LMHC.
That background includes helping people process adverse childhood experiences and trauma responses. She brings a trauma-informed stance to conversations so clients feel heard while learning concrete coping strategies. She also helps with self-esteem, caregiver stress, relationship communication, guilt and shame, and finding clearer life purpose.
Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and increase practical options for moving forward. The focus is on what works for each person, not on labels. Getting started involves a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to suit different needs.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Markita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people manage anxiety and heal from trauma. One approach emphasizes learning emotion regulation skills - simple practices to reduce overwhelm, calm intense reactions, and respond more clearly to stress. This approach is useful for mood disorders, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. Another common element is building routines and coping strategies that improve daily functioning - small behavioral changes that make stress easier to handle and support long-term mood improvement.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life demands, and then try methods that fit. If something isn’t helping, she will adjust the plan so it better matches what the client needs and what feels manageable.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or camera time is difficult, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping progress focused on practical skills and coping.
