More about Marcy
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
I am a supportive and compassionate therapist who enjoys working with a diversified group
of clients. I design the therapy approach based on the client's needs. The first therapy session reviews
the goals of the client so that a treatment plan can be planned. The therapy experience should be motivational
and helpful to the client. The client should walk away from the therapy session with a fresh approach to their problem.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:
I have been battling depression for many years. Marcy has helped more than any of my other therapists.
I truly believe that Marcy has saved my sanity, if not my life.
Marcy has done wonders for me. I have been suffering from a major depperessive disorder for 18 yrs. I’ve had several different therapists. Marcy has been the most helpful. She doesn’t just listen and offer advice and empathy. She gives me “homework”, tasks to do to improve my situation. It has made a world of difference.
Didn't feel a connection with Marcy. I felt like her interactions were not genuine.
Marcy's guidance and expertise are second to none. She actively listens, has a calm tone, and very positive approach. I wouldn't want to see any other therapist.
Marcy seems nice and is skilled but cancels and changes appointments regularly.
I am still making progress w/ my depression w/ some set backs. Marcy continues to be supportive while still urging me to do the things I need to to get better. I am on a migraine support group. I have been recommending Better Help like crazy!
Good therapist
Attentive and comfortable
This was my first visit w/ Marcy. She is a very active listener. She had several constructive steps for me to take before we next meet. I’ve been floundering for a long while. I’m hopeful about continuing my therapy.
I look forward to our next call
