About Marsha
Marsha Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with 18 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and a wide range of mood and behavioral concerns. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at reducing day-to-day distress and improving coping skills.
Marsha mixes person-centered care with cognitive behavioral tools and solution-focused work. That means sessions often start by listening to what matters most to the person and then trying small, doable strategies that can be repeated outside the session.
Background and approach
She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, as one option for people coping with trauma-related symptoms. Therapy with her emphasizes clear goals and simple practices. People can expect to talk through recent struggles, learn skills for managing strong emotions, and try exercises that shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Marsha aims to keep the work practical so people leave sessions with something they can use that week. She has supported adults facing issues such as addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and parenting stress, ADHD, panic attacks, and compassion fatigue. Marsha explains things in plain language and focuses on what helps clients feel steadier and more capable.
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She invites collaboration and adjusts methods to fit each person’s needs. Marsha encourages anyone in Louisiana who wants straightforward, skills-based help to consider starting a conversation.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Marsha uses Client-Centered Therapy to make the person feel heard and understood, focusing on the client’s priorities and personal pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and reduce anxiety or depression. She also offers EMDR as one approach for people dealing with trauma-related symptoms and intense emotional memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marsha collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That way the approach is tailored and can change if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy with Marsha is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions support face-to-face interaction and guided exercises, phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible, live chat allows shorter check-ins during busy days, and text messaging works well for ongoing support and brief skill reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
