How Marsha’s Approaches Work Online

Marsha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT focuses on breaking big issues into small, practical steps, which can help with anxiety, mood problems, panic, and patterns tied to addiction.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting each person’s own goals. That approach helps people feel heard and then decide what changes matter most to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marsha will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then help choose or combine methods that fit. She treats the process as collaborative and adjusts plans based on what is helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy days and different routines while keeping focus on practical steps and progress.
