About Marquita
Marquita Clay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, grief, anger, and depression. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that can be used day to day. Her approach aims to help people feel steadier and better able to handle life changes.
She uses a mix of well-established techniques to match each person's needs. Sessions tend to be patient and nonjudgmental, with space for reflection and clear coping tools.
Background and approach
Marquita emphasizes practical skill-building alongside emotional support. Her background includes long experience working with relationship problems, job stress, divorce, relocation, and transitions. She also has experience with parenting concerns, obsessive thoughts, and attention difficulties.
That experience shapes how she helps people set realistic goals and plan next steps. In sessions she combines cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral concepts, and client-centered listening. She will work with a client to pick the techniques that fit best for their situation.
The aim is steady progress through simple, manageable practices. People can expect straightforward guidance, time to process hard emotions, and concrete strategies to use after each session. Marquita frames therapy as a collaborative process where clients decide what matters most and she helps them move toward those goals.
How therapy methods translate to online care
Marquita often uses cognitive-behavioral techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression. These methods teach practical skills such as identifying negative thoughts, testing assumptions, and building small behavior changes that add up over time.She also incorporates mindfulness practices that help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Mindfulness can help when stress or worry feels constant by teaching short, repeatable exercises to calm the mind and refocus attention.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marquita collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and day-to-day life. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so it fits what actually helps the client make progress.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let the therapist and client work together face to face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing accountability, and brief skill practice between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain steady momentum.
