Marsha Hayes , LPC

Marsha Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana and Arizona with 18 years of experience supporting adults across a variety of settings. As an LPC, she holds a professional counseling credential that equips her to provide psychotherapy and practical guidance for mood, trauma, and life transitions.

Her work combines client-centered care, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and solution-focused strategies to create actionable tools clients can reuse when challenges recur. This blend emphasizes understanding each person’s perspective, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, and setting clear, achievable goals to improve day-to-day functioning.

Marsha is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a specialized approach used to address symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress, depression, grief, and anxiety. She strives to maintain a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where adults feel comfortable exploring concerns and building healthier patterns. Marsha collaborates with clients to tailor interventions and encourage lasting change, and she welcomes the opportunity to work with individuals who are ready to pursue healing and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Marsha Hayes

Marsha integrates client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where a person’s own goals guide the work, helping clients deepen self-understanding and build self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering clear skills for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors. She is also trained in EMDR, a targeted method used to reduce distress linked to traumatic memories and related symptoms such as heightened anxiety or grief.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marsha collaborates with each person to evaluate needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts methods over time so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - allow licensed professionals to offer flexible scheduling and ongoing support without the need for travel. These formats make it easier to access care from home, accommodate busy routines, and maintain consistency in treatment, while allowing therapists to tailor interaction styles to what works best for each client.
