About Marcia
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 17 years of experience, Marcia Blake helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She also works with concerns such as addiction, parenting strain, relationship and family problems, anger, mood disorders, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English. International clients are not accepted.
Marcia has worked in residential programs, community mental health, and private practice. She has provided both group and individual counseling across these settings. She values building rapport and treats each person as the expert on their own life.
Her clinical toolkit draws from cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical behavior approaches alongside acceptance and commitment perspectives and attachment-based ideas. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the person in front of her. Marcia mixes in solution-focused and motivational interviewing techniques when they fit the situation.
Practical, creative tools appear in sessions as appropriate. She may suggest journaling, poetry, music, or art to help people describe feelings and notice patterns. Work in therapy often includes identifying triggers, looking at core beliefs, and practicing new coping skills.
Marcia helps clients increase self-awareness and develop concrete practices for daily life. She aims to help people recognize unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How these approaches are used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take action toward them while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and change those patterns when they cause distress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own perspective and pace; the therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client's lead to build understanding.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marcia will discuss different methods and make decisions together based on the person’s goals, history, and what feels helpful. That collaborative process means approaches can shift as needs change.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows continued work between in-person appointments for people who prefer remote sessions, while the therapist and client agree on the best mix of methods and practical arrangements.
