She holds an LPC in Louisiana and brings six years of professional experience to her practice.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Marsha uses several evidence-informed approaches adapted for online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a way to process traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming during day-to-day life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people build more stable connections and clearer communication.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marsha will talk with a client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. She adjusts the plan as progress is made, combining techniques when that fits the person’s needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexible access. Video visits allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue consistent care when schedules or locations change.
