People who choose her often want a calm, collaborative approach. Marcie aims to support and empower individuals as they try new ways of coping and pursue a more fulfilling life.
How her approaches translate to online care
Marcie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered work to guide sessions. ACT helps people clarify values and take meaningful steps despite difficult feelings. CBT focuses on spotting and shifting thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and panic. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and shaping the pace and topics to fit the person's needs.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques in session, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. That process can include learning skills, practicing them between meetings, and checking progress together.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue therapy when relocating within the same state. Discuss scheduling preferences during the matching and intake steps to find an arrangement that works for everyday routines.
