About Marcella
Marcella Groover is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Arkansas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and depression. Marcella also supports people facing codependency, attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and other complex challenges.
Her approach is direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and learning skills that can be used between meetings. Marcella uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered therapy, and the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and personal habits.
In the room she helps people notice what gets in the way of boundaries, how people-pleasing shows up, and what keeps someone stuck in reactive patterns. Conversations move from understanding feelings to trying different behaviors in real life. She pays attention to how early attachments and current relationship patterns affect choices now.
Marcella often works with people who are coping with trauma, dissociation, or complex stressors such as chronic pain, cancer, or blended family strains. Sessions include practical exercises, mindset shifts, and communication tools to reduce overwhelm and increase clarity about next steps.
She invites clients to set small, achievable goals and practice new ways of relating over time. The focus is on steady, usable changes rather than quick fixes. Marcella practices in Arkansas and conducts work in English.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values rather than reacting automatically. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep someone stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in current relationships and helps people try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through specific exercises and small experiments to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Marcella treats the decision as collaborative and will help clients test what fits best, adjusting methods to match goals, needs, and personal preferences. That means trying exercises, noticing what helps, and shifting focus when needed.
Confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings. It can allow shorter check-ins, use of worksheets in the moment, or easier scheduling around caregiving and work. Licensed professionals, including Marcella, use these methods to support progress through discussion, practice exercises, and communication skills that can be applied between sessions.
