About Markita
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with four years of experience, Markita Couch helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the aftereffects of trauma. She works with preteens, teens, young adults who have experienced trauma, and adults facing life changes who want clearer ways to cope. Sessions focus on practical skills and understanding patterns that keep problems stuck.
Markita aims to make things understandable and usable. She introduces tools to regulate emotions and reduce overwhelm. Sessions tend to break issues into manageable steps so clients can try changes between meetings and see what helps.
Her work is trauma informed and concentrates on building steadier coping strategies. She addresses attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues like guilt, shame, and isolation. Markita also supports people dealing with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
She encourages clients to notice which habits keep them stuck and to practice small shifts in thinking and behavior. Therapy covers both immediate coping skills and longer-term pattern changes. The goal is clearer choices and more reliable ways to handle challenges as they come up.
Practical steps are part of the process: learning emotion regulation, trying new ways to communicate, and exploring forgiveness when relevant. Markita frames work as collaborative and problem-focused, with room for personal pacing and concrete skill building.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Markita’s stated practice is trauma informed and focused on building emotion regulation and coping skills. Trauma-informed work means noticing how past experiences affect reactions now and using that awareness to reduce overwhelm and avoid retraumatizing steps. This approach helps people who struggle with post-traumatic stress, long-term effects of adverse childhood experiences, or intense anxiety.She also emphasizes practical skills such as emotion regulation and communication strategies. Emotion regulation teaching breaks down how to recognize strong feelings and try specific exercises to lower intensity. Communication work focuses on clearer, calmer ways to state needs and set boundaries in everyday situations.
Finding the best fit is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they choose techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress or challenges appear.
