Marci Zago, LMHC, LPC

Marci Zago is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, and low self-esteem. She works with adults who feel exhausted, uncertain, or disconnected during major life changes. Her style is practical and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping people feel calmer and more confident in day-to-day life.

Clients often come looking for tools they can use right away. Marci focuses on building coping skills and clearer self-understanding. Sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace so people leave with ideas they can try between meetings.

She brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work and tailors support to each person’s goals. That means listening first, then shaping interventions to fit the client’s needs and situation. The aim is to create durable shifts in how people handle stress and relationships.

Marci helps people facing a range of concerns including relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and issues tied to family of origin. She also works with people navigating adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, workplace problems, and midlife crisis concerns.

If someone is unsure about starting, Marci invites them to reach out and complete a short matching questionnaire to see if her approach feels right. From there, scheduling is arranged based on therapist availability.

How Marci’s approaches translate to online care

Marci works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical changes people can use. One common approach she uses emphasizes building coping skills for managing anxiety and stress; it teaches breathing, grounding, and thought-management strategies that help reduce daily overwhelm. Another approach centers on improving self-understanding and relationships by identifying patterns learned from family of origin and current interactions, which can help people make different choices in how they respond.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is collaborative. Marci listens to a person’s goals, life situation, and preferences, then experiments with methods that fit. She reviews progress together and adjusts the plan so it stays useful and relevant to what a person wants to change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce time spent traveling, and allow a steadier rhythm of check-ins during periods of stress or transition. It can also accommodate shorter or longer sessions as needed and make it simpler to keep therapy going during workday breaks or when life gets hectic.
