About Marcia
She draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape sessions around each person's needs. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused methods are used to create small, immediate steps toward better coping. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or feels stuck.
Sessions are designed to be collaborative. Marcia listens closely, helps set clear goals, and practices strategies with clients during appointments. Those strategies can include thought reframing, activity planning, and short mindfulness exercises to manage strong emotions and improve sleep.
Her background combines mental health work with years of experience supporting people through illness, caregiving, and end-of-life concerns. That experience informs a practical, down-to-earth approach aimed at helping people regain a sense of control and purpose.
People who choose her often want steady guidance and straightforward tools. She helps clients work through relationship and communication problems, codependency, and the stresses that come with major life transitions. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details to make sure they fit your needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and can find their own solutions. Online sessions using this approach emphasize open conversation and collaborative goal setting, useful for people facing grief, caregiving stress, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote appointments CBT can include practicing thought records, behavior experiments, and concrete activity plans to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These short exercises can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together during appointments.
Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up conversations after difficult events. It also allows focused check-ins that can be shorter or more frequent when that better meets someone's needs.
