How Marsha works
Sessions focus on small, doable changes and on building skills that clients can use between visits. Marsha holds a Master of Social Work from Florida State University and is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker, LCSW. She has 14 years of clinical experience working in a range of settings.
That background informs how she tailors care to different needs. Her past work includes counseling in correctional settings, running anger management groups, and supporting dialysis patients. She has also worked with veterans and families in hospice care and with pregnant and postpartum women.
Those roles shaped her practical, person-centered approach. In sessions she draws on several evidence-informed approaches, using what fits each person. The focus is on helping people regain a sense of control, improve communication, and move toward goals that matter to them.
Marsha aims to empower people so they can make steady progress and meet their goals.

How Marsha’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on identifying values and taking concrete steps toward those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, centers on understanding strong emotions and improving how people express and connect around those emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different tools and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler. Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EFT tools for remote sessions to help people practice skills and stay on track between meetings.
