More about Marcel
- 3 years' experience

- LCSW
I have been helping people identify and address a variety of problems for over a decade. For the problems that do not have solutions, I believe it is possible to learn to live with a problem by making changes in thoughts and actions. I tend to adopt a position that allows individuals to be the captain of their ships while helping to identify and overcome obstacles. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
