About Marsha

With 25 years of experience, she uses clear, down-to-earth methods people can apply right away. Conversations stay focused on what matters most to the client. Sessions aim to boost motivation, reduce panic or worry, and improve sleep and mood.
Background and approach
Marsha often draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and validate each person’s experience. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change, and Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on small, achievable steps.
She works with people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, chronic pain or illness, and life transitions. Other areas she supports include smoking or vaping cessation, forgiveness, and finding life purpose. Her style is supportive and goal-oriented.
Marsha encourages clients to see themselves as the primary expert in their own story. She helps people build on their strengths and take manageable steps toward change. Making the first call can feel hard, and she offers steady guidance through that process.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Marsha commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping the client lead the conversation so they feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior, then tests small changes to see what improves mood, sleep, or anxiety.She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people feel uncertain about change. That approach helps draw out personal reasons for change and builds motivation in a nonjudgmental way. Together these methods let the therapist and client try different paths and pick what fits best for the person’s situation.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Then they will adapt methods and pace to match those needs so progress feels realistic and manageable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief reflections between sessions. These options help clients fit therapy into busy days and maintain contact when life gets hectic.
