Marcia treated me with respect from the beginning of our time together. She validated my feelings, provided me with tools to use and checked in on my progress. She is great at recognizing patterns and setting steps to facilitate change.

More about me
Licensing: MSW/LCSW Years in Practice: 15 State: Illinois
Welcome to BetterHelp! You are taking the first step to having the life you were meant to live. Therapy can be a way to find a different perspective to life's many challenges, to facilitate personal growth and focus on you and what you want. When you find that right therapist, the experience can offer you a platform to share your personal truth in a setting that is supportive and non-judgmental.
My experience helping others spans over 15 years and over several different settings. I have a Masters of Social Work degree and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois. I have worked in a mental health hospital both on inpatient and outpatient units. I have also worked with domestic violence and sexual assault survivors in a shelter setting as well as in my private practice. My experience also includes private practice with clients working with parenting issues, stress and anxiety, foster care and adoption issues, depression, care-giving and issues associated with aging. My therapeutic approach uses Cognitive Behavioral Theory where we look at what you are currently doing that isn't working for you and what we need to do to make changes. I also work with clients using the Strengths Perspective where we look at your strengths to develop a path going forward that builds on your abilities and talents as well as strengthens your motivation and self-esteem.
Ultimately we want to be heard and understood. We want to have someone who listens to us and validates our feelings and experiences in a safe, comfortable environment. I will be that person for you.
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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. Ranging from $60 to $90 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.
