About Marsha

Background and approach
She draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to create treatment that aligns with each client's needs and goals. Marsha frames therapy as a collaborative process and emphasizes respectful, sensitive, nonjudgmental care.
Her practice also addresses related issues like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, family of origin concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, life purpose, mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and seasonal affective disorder. Sessions are tailored to the individual and Marsha adapts dialogue and plans to match specific circumstances.
She encourages people to recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy and seeks to make the first steps as constructive as possible.
Practical approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting and empathetic space where the client’s perspective guides the conversation; this approach helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief, or identity and relational concerns to explore their experiences and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through concrete tools and exercises, which is often useful for anxiety, mood disorders, panic, and coping with addictive patterns.Deciding which approach to use is typically a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to evaluate needs, goals, and personal preferences and then tailor sessions and techniques to fit what seems most helpful for that individual.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care without needing in-person appointments and allow clients to continue therapeutic work from locations that suit them.
