About Marsha
Marsha Rimler is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of practice in New York. She helps people who are struggling with relationships, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She emphasizes practical steps and supports clients as they try new ways of coping.
Her approach starts by listening closely to each person's story. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
This helps people feel respected and more confident about taking small steps forward. In sessions she uses methods drawn from attachment work and client-centered practice to strengthen relationships and emotional awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are often part of conversations when unhelpful thinking or behavior patterns get in the way of goals.
Marsha also brings tools from dialectical behavior approaches for managing strong emotions and building skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation. These strategies are useful for people facing grief, trauma, or persistent mood problems. She works in English and focuses on concrete, doable strategies that fit into daily life.
For a worried parent reading this on a phone: she aims for clear steps, steady support, and practical choices you can try between sessions.
Approaches that guide online work
Marsha often draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in their close relationships and to build trust and emotional connection. Attachment-focused work can be helpful for those struggling with intimacy, family of origin issues, or feelings of isolation.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles, which center the person's own goals and lived experience. That approach means sessions are guided by what matters to the client and paced to fit their needs and comfort level.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest tools and strategies that fit. That collaborative process helps shape whether more CBT techniques, DBT skills, or attachment-focused conversations will be emphasized.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer different practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or when messaging fits a busy schedule.
These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping the focus on skills and goals that matter to the person.
