About Marsha
Marsha Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and relationship and family concerns. She works with adults who are facing life transitions, grief, addiction, parenting strain, attention challenges, and anger. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth.
Sessions focus on real skills people can use between appointments. Marsha combines client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify the thoughts and behaviors that keep struggles alive.
Background and approach
She also uses Solution-Focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. When trauma is part of the picture, she draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address distressing memories. In sessions she aims to create an atmosphere of respect and nonjudgment.
Conversations are straightforward, and she encourages clients to try techniques between meetings and report back on what worked. Progress is measured in clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and better daily functioning. Marsha has worked across multiple settings over nearly two decades and has experience with panic, social anxiety, bipolar mood patterns, and post-traumatic stress symptoms.
Her background supports a mix of short-term skill building and deeper trauma work when needed. She offers services from Louisiana and provides therapy in English. People connect through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, and sessions are scheduled to fit individual needs.
How Marsha’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist reflects concerns back and helps clients find their own solutions, which is useful for building confidence and tackling everyday stress and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. In online sessions this can involve practicing thought-challenging exercises, tracking mood and behaviors between meetings, and using homework to build new habits for anxiety and depression.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews symptoms, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods over time. Sometimes short-term, solution-focused tools are used first, and other times deeper trauma work or DBT skills become part of the plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let clients send updates, ask quick questions, or work through exercises between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
