About Marcia
She has worked with individuals facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and concerns around self-esteem and confidence. Her practice centers on recognizing each person's existing strengths and life knowledge, and she works to build on those resources to address what feels most urgent and meaningful.
Marcia emphasizes that seeking change takes courage and that the therapeutic process is a collaborative one. She offers steady support and guidance as people explore goals, try new coping strategies, and move toward a more fulfilling life.
Approaches and benefits of online therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping skills and problem-solving strategies.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and effective interpersonal skills. It is helpful for people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship challenges, and patterns of reactivity, offering tools to manage crises and improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Marcia works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques from these approaches to fit each person's situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and lets people engage in therapy from locations that are convenient for them. Licensed professionals can deliver many of the same therapeutic tools and exercises remotely, making ongoing care more accessible while supporting continuity and consistency in treatment.
