About Marsha
Marsha Carlton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia who focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and stress. She uses clear, straightforward conversations to help clients find steps that fit their lives. Marsha brings 13 years of experience to each session and centers respect and compassion in her approach.
She works with people facing trauma, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and struggles with addiction.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with relationship and family problems, communication issues, and major life changes. Marsha pays attention to patterns such as attachment wounds, codependency, and feelings of abandonment that often underlie day-to-day struggles. Marsha draws on several well-known methods to guide her work.
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She applies attachment-based ideas to help people notice and shift relational patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and emotionally-focused approaches help clients clarify values and process strong emotions.
Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. Marsha helps people set small, realistic goals and practices between meetings. Progress tends to come from repeating manageable steps, not sudden fixes.
She offers sessions in English by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment according to the platform flow.
Therapeutic approaches that work online
Marsha commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and motivation. CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in how people relate. That work helps when past relational wounds affect current interactions and emotional reactions. Together these approaches give concrete tools and insight to support change, and Marsha will work with each person to find the best combination for their needs and goals in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief check-ins, or need more flexible timing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and match the format to daily life.
