About Marcia
Marcia Blake is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 17 years of experience helping people through hard life seasons. She works with concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, grief, addictions, relationship and family problems, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. Marcia also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and loneliness.
She has worked in residential programs, community mental health, and private practice. That range means she is familiar with both group and individual counseling formats. Marcia values building rapport and treats each person as the expert on their own life.
Her clinical approach is eclectic and practical. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas, and draws on acceptance and commitment and attachment-based methods when helpful. She also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions grounded in what the person needs.
Marcia often brings creative tools into sessions, such as journaling, poetry, music, and art. These techniques are used alongside conversation to help people notice patterns and test new ways of coping. She focuses on increasing self-awareness and identifying core beliefs that affect mood and behavior.
In sessions she helps people uncover triggers, build day-to-day practices, and try skills that reduce distress. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How Marcia blends approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck by teaching people how to make choices that match what matters to them rather than trying to eliminate all difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical tools for changing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which can be useful for panic, depression, and mood disorders. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you decide together which methods fit your goals and preferences. That might mean trying CBT skill practice some weeks and focusing on attachment concerns or acceptance-focused work in others. For session logistics, confirm available formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you rely on creative methods like journaling or music, those can be integrated into remote sessions to support ongoing practice and reflection.Areas of expertise
