About Marsha
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 18 years of experience, Marsha Hayes helps adults address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, relationship and family problems, addiction, grief, and other concerns. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and solution-focused work. Her background also includes training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which she applies when trauma-related symptoms are present.
Marsha keeps sessions practical and goal-oriented. She helps people develop skills they can use outside of therapy. Sessions focus on clear steps, coping strategies, and ways to manage difficult emotions and behaviors. She blends short-term problem solving with deeper work when needed.
Her approach is conversational and active. She listens for what is working and what is not, then tests straightforward methods to reduce distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain problems. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to find immediate, usable changes that make daily life easier.
When trauma or past events are driving current symptoms, Marsha may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help process those memories. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are available for managing intense emotions and improving coping. The emphasis is on teaching tools people can rely on after sessions end.
She has worked in multiple clinical settings over nearly two decades and holds LPC credentials. Marsha offers straightforward care for adults who want clear strategies and steady support while they work through stress, mood issues, trauma reactions, and life transitions.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can set their own goals. Online sessions that use this approach tend to be conversational and allow space for clients to describe what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change them. In an online setting CBT often includes homework, short skill practice in between sessions, and step-by-step problem solving to reduce anxiety, panic, or mood symptoms.
EMDR is a method some therapists use to process distressing memories; when it is appropriate, it aims to reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions. If EMDR is discussed, the therapist will explain what that work involves and whether it seems like a good next step.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs, and together they will pick methods to try. That plan can change over time based on what helps and what doesn’t.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving. It also lets people continue therapy from another location when needed, and it supports short check-ins or regular weekly appointments depending on what the therapist and client agree will work best.
