About Marshawna
Marshawna Hoyte is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her style aims to make the first steps feel safer and more manageable for someone worried about starting therapy.
She focuses on everyday struggles like low self-esteem, depression, and motivation. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Short-term goals and practical coping skills are often part of her work together with clients. Marshawna uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, among other approaches, to address distress linked to past events. She explains methods in plain language and adapts them to each person’s situation.
Sessions are guided by what a client needs and what they feel ready to try. Conversations are tailored to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. She helps people identify small changes that add up, such as shifting unhelpful thinking, improving communication, or creating routine self-care.
These steps are meant to be practical and doable between sessions. Clients can expect a calm, straightforward process that centers their goals. Marshawna encourages people to move at a pace that feels right and to re-evaluate plans as needs change.
How EMDR and online formats can help with stress and anxiety
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people reduce distress tied to upsetting memories by using targeted bilateral stimulation while processing the memory. It can be useful for trauma reactions, strong emotional responses, and memories that keep getting triggered.In sessions she explains what each method involves and helps clients try techniques at a comfortable pace. The therapist works with clients to decide when EMDR or another approach might be helpful based on the person’s goals, symptoms, and past experiences. That decision is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions are an option for lower bandwidth or when a client prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or fit brief therapeutic work into a busy day.
These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions, maintain momentum between visits, and try different ways of working without traveling. The therapist will discuss which format fits best for the intended work and the client’s daily life.
