Marci Zago brings 14 years of clinical experience to her practice as a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor (LMHC, LPC). She focuses on helping adults who face anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, low self-esteem, depression, and the challenges that accompany major life transitions.

Background and approach

Marci draws on practical, evidence-informed strategies to help clients build coping skills, increase resilience, and find greater clarity about what they want from life. Her style is collaborative and compassionate, creating a space where people can speak openly without judgment while learning tools that support lasting change.

Marci also addresses concerns related to relationships, trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, workplace issues, and other life stressors. She works with each person to set goals and tailor interventions to their needs, helping them move from feeling exhausted or disconnected toward greater balance and confidence.

Evidence-Informed Care Delivered Online

Marci uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and build skills for everyday life. One common approach focuses on developing practical coping strategies for anxiety and burnout, teaching paced breathing, thought reframing, and behavioral steps that support emotional regulation and stress management. Another key strand emphasizes trauma-informed interventions to address the effects of abuse or post-traumatic stress, helping clients process difficult memories and reclaim a sense of safety and control.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marci works collaboratively with each person to select techniques that match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Together they assess what helps, adjust strategies over time, and prioritize interventions that produce useful, sustainable change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access licensed professionals from home or work. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive consistent support while working toward clearer thinking, improved coping, and greater emotional balance.
