About Marcus

Marcus Litterst is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 22 years of practice. He focuses on self esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, and grief, and also addresses communication problems and questions about life purpose. Marcus works directly with people who want clearer thinking and more motivation in daily life.

He uses a mix of practical, talk-based techniques. Marcus centers sessions on the client's own experience and strengths. He draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect, and uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new responses.

Motivational interviewing is part of his approach for people who want help finding momentum and staying engaged with change. Solution-focused methods are used to set small, concrete goals and track progress between sessions. Trauma-focused techniques are used when past events are affecting current mood and behavior.

Marcus keeps things straightforward in conversation. He aims to help people build confidence, reduce anxiety and manage depression through clear steps and regular review. Sessions tend to focus on what someone wants to change now and what small actions can move them forward.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Marcus values showing respect for each person's story and working with them to find realistic steps toward their goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps people clarify what matters to them by putting their experience at the center of sessions and encouraging their own problem-solving skills.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to build motivation for change. It helps people weigh options, resolve doubts, and set realistic next steps when they feel stuck.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change as a client learns what helps them most.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find that the conversational methods described above adapt well to remote sessions, especially when the focus is on clear steps and homework between meetings.
