Maurshia Guice, LCSW

Maurshia Guice is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family challenges, and substance concerns. She approaches clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her style aims to make the first step feel manageable and clear.

Maurshia shapes sessions around each person's needs. She listens first, then works with clients to set small, achievable goals. Conversations focus on what is causing the strain and what practical steps can reduce it.

Her background includes six years of professional experience working in Texas. That time has included supporting people with LGBTQ-related concerns and a range of relationship and family topics. She draws on several well-known therapy methods to guide sessions.

Techniques often used include cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take purposeful action, and attachment-based work to understand patterns in close relationships. She also uses client-centered practices that prioritize the person's perspective, and dialectical behavior ideas for emotion regulation when needed.

Sessions can address additional areas like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, body image, fatherhood concerns, and family-of-origin issues. Maurshia aims to help people feel more empowered and steady in daily life.

Her approach is collaborative: clients and Maurshia review progress and adjust plans as things change. The work is practical, focused on actions people can try between sessions, and paced to match each person's readiness.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication, which can help with family and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time if one approach proves more useful than another.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and visible cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins, and chat or messaging suits brief updates or ongoing support between meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into busy days or different routines.
