Marcia Blake, LPC

Marcia Blake is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of experience. She helps people navigate hard seasons like grief, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Her work also addresses stress from caregiving, chronic illness, addiction, and burnout symptoms such as compassion fatigue.

She meets people where they are and focuses on building genuine rapport. Marcia treats adolescents and adults and brings experience from residential programs, community mental health, and private practice into each session. She believes clients know their lives best and collaborates to find workable steps forward.

Her approach blends practical, goal-focused methods. Marcia draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas to build emotional skills and acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and action.

Marcia weaves in attachment-informed thinking to look at early relationship patterns. She often uses creative tools such as journaling, poetry, music, and art to help people express hard feelings and try new perspectives. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and spot the core beliefs that shape daily choices.

Together with each client she maps triggers and builds concrete practices for coping. Work often includes small behavior changes, new ways of managing mood, and plans to handle setbacks. Prospective clients are asked to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments.

How Marcia’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small, purposeful steps toward those values rather than getting stuck on unwanted thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic illness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, and unhelpful avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marcia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and preferences. Together they adjust strategies over time so the plan stays practical and relevant.
