More about Marcia

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado (since 2011), and received my M.A. in Counseling from Colorado Christian University. Although I have experience providing therapy around a variety of issues, my areas of focus include grief and loss, depression, & transitions/life changes. I'm also passionate about working with clients around compassion fatigue, an issue many of us in service and caretaking-related fields experience at some point.

It is my strong belief that we, as humans, were designed to connect, to be seen and known fully, but isolation and brokenness are often the reality. Augustine wrote about "the unobserved life," referring to the cruciality of self-reflection. I am here to facilitate a more observed life for the purpose of deeper self-awareness, insight into our own strengths and weaknesses, a greater sense of purpose and direction, as well as cultivating empathy and understanding for others. Pain and sorrow are often the means by which we grow. Rather than offering a band aid or "feel better fast" approach, which, I believe, is antithetical to the deep soul work we actually need, I will walk alongside you in your pain, whatever that pain may look like. Research shows that the modality of a therapist matters much less in terms of treatment outcomes than the quality of relationship between therapist and client. As such, I implement an eclectic approach, often using aspects of several different models including CBT, DBT, and existential therapy, but believe the most poignant and lasting change occurs as a result of the genuine human connection found in the therapeutic relationship.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
