More about Marci

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am licensed in Pennsylvania with over 15 years of professional experience in community behavioral health, college counseling centers and private practice. I have focused my career on helping clients with managing daily stress, overcoming relationship issues or family conflicts, increasing motivation and improving self-esteem and confidence. I am trained in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Therapy (DBT) to support and help individuals who are experiencing anxiety or depression. I work with my clients in an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey! I look forward to working with you!

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.
