About Marva
LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) in Ohio with 14 years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem, and life changes. Marva Carter offers practical, evidence-informed care that focuses on skills and problem-solving.
She works with individuals facing substance use issues and related challenges such as drug and alcohol addiction, domestic violence impact, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions cover coping with grief, workplace strain, social anxiety, and the effects of isolation or seasonal mood changes.

In session she uses a person-centered, strengths-based approach. That means she listens for each person’s abilities and preferences, then offers practical tools aligned with their goals. Work may include skill-building, behavior changes, and planning for life transitions like career shifts or relationship decisions.
Marva keeps learning through workshops and supervision to refine her methods. She focuses on straightforward strategies clients can practice between meetings. People who want concrete steps for managing anxiety, addiction, anger, or major life changes will find a direct, skills-focused style.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, social phobia, and stress by teaching concrete skills and practice exercises.Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and strengthens motivation. It is commonly used when addressing substance use and other behaviors where readiness and commitment matter.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. It can help with anxiety, seasonal mood changes, and responding to triggers more calmly.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and needs. That process may involve trying different methods and adjusting plans as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can still make therapy easier to fit into daily life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow sessions during a lunch break, or make short check-ins feasible. Mention your scheduling needs when you complete the matching questionnaire so practical arrangements can be discussed.
