About Marcia
She draws on nine years of professional counseling experience and a clinical background in nursing, including work as a trauma nurse. That mix of nursing and counseling experience helps her understand challenges related to chronic illness, pain, caregiving strain, and the emotional impact of major health events.
Sessions focus on the person's goals and practical steps. She adapts talks and treatment plans to each person’s situation. Techniques come from client-centered conversation, cognitive-behavioral methods to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals.
Marcia aims to make therapy collaborative. She listens for strengths and builds small changes that add up. Topics she commonly addresses include communication problems, isolation or loneliness, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose.
People often seek her help when chronic health issues, caregiving demands, or life transitions make day-to-day living harder. She frames work around realistic steps for coping and regaining a sense of control.

How these approaches guide online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify goals and priorities, which suits issues like life purpose, self-love, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, stress, and depression.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what already works. Sessions often set short-term goals and track progress, which can be useful for coping with life changes and caregiver stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as therapy moves forward.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten routine check-ins, or avoid travel. It also lets people continue care when health issues or caregiving make being away from home difficult.
