Marci is a true life saver! I wish I had the words to describe how much she's helped me. She's a great listener and asks the most insightful questions. She's created such a safe space that it feels like I've known her forever -and I know I can talk to her about anything without judgement. Marci is genuinely kind and perfectly professional. I can't recommend her enough!

More about Marci

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LICSW, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Alabama. I have 6+ years of experience providing mental and behavioral health counseling to adolescents, adults and seniors. I work with a variety of issues including: anxiety, stress management, mental illness, substance use, compassion fatigue, depression, relationships, health and wellness, and trauma.

I value the holistic wellness approach. I believe “well” is connected to the whole person. Mind, Body, and Spirit. I work to meet you where you are and explore your goals you would like to achieve.

It takes courage to start a therapeutic journey, I am glad you’re here! I will be here to empower you along the way.

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.
