About Marcia
Marcia Blake is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of experience helping people through hard seasons. She focuses on building a trusting connection and listens for each person's unique story. Her style is practical and direct, aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable.
She has worked in residential programs, community mental health, and independent practice. That variety shaped how she helps people with depression, bipolar challenges, anxiety, grief, trauma, and substance use concerns.
Background and approach
Marcia also supports those coping with relationship strain, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and chronic illness or pain. Her counseling blends several methods to fit the person in front of her. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and dialectical behavior ideas to build emotional skills.
Attachment-based and client-centered work guide how she pays attention to relationships and what matters to each client. Sessions sometimes include creative options like journaling, poetry, music, or art when that approach is useful. Marcia emphasizes practical steps - identifying triggers, testing new ways of responding, and creating habits that ease distress.
She treats clients as partners in the work and respects their expertise about their own lives. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the counselor's availability. This process helps match goals and find a workable plan for change.
Approach and online counseling options
Marcia uses several evidence-informed approaches that aim to change how people relate to thoughts and feelings and to strengthen relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that feed mood and anxiety problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships shape expectations and reactions, helping people form healthier ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made and new challenges appear.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it simpler to attend during work breaks. Licensed professionals can also use online sessions to continue work begun in person or to try creative tools like journaling and music alongside talk therapy.
