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 relationship and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Her style is straightforward and practical, with an emphasis on clear steps and real-world tools.
Marcia has worked in residential programs, community mental health, and independent practice. She has offered both group and individual counseling during her career.
How Marcia works
Her background includes supporting people facing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, grief, trauma, substance use concerns, and school-related stress. Her approach blends several methods to meet people where they are. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior ideas to manage intense emotions, and client-centered listening to follow each person's priorities.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based concepts also appear in her work to help with values and relationships. Sessions may include practical exercises like journaling, poetry, or creative prompts when that fits the person's goals. Marcia focuses on helping people increase self-awareness, identify triggers, and challenge core beliefs that hold them back.
She aims to turn those insights into daily practices that make life more manageable. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session. The counselor uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling depends on the therapist's availability.

Online support options
Approach choices and online therapy options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to sit with difficult feelings. It can be helpful for people coping with life changes, grief, and ongoing mood or anxiety struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and mood-related problems to create clear behavior and thinking changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive behaviors. It provides tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and improving moment-to-moment coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, history, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, save commuting time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing how sessions will be scheduled and what to expect helps create a plan that fits everyday life.
