About Marcia
Marcia Blake is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, relationship and family difficulties, and issues tied to mood or trauma. Marcia also lists codependency among the problems she addresses.
She has provided both group and individual counseling in residential programs, community mental health, and private practice. Her work draws on several well-known approaches, including cognitive behavioral methods and dialectical behavior ideas, alongside client-centered and attachment-informed ways of working.
In sessions she focuses on building rapport and treating each person as the expert on their own life. She helps people notice patterns, identify core beliefs that get in the way, and trace how past experiences shape current reactions. That practical attention aims to make daily life feel more manageable.
Marcia uses a mix of skills-based coaching and reflective conversation. This can include journaling, poetry or music as ways to name feelings and try different responses. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools to set short-term goals and track small changes.
Her approach emphasizes clearer self-awareness and concrete practices to change habitual responses. Clients work on identifying triggers, practicing new behaviors, and building routines that support better coping. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small, values-based actions despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments so behavior and mood can shift. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people see how early bonds influence current reactions and expectations; this can be useful for codependency and relationship struggles.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Marcia will talk with each person about goals and preferences and use that information to choose techniques together. That means sessions can include skills practice one week and reflective work the next, depending on what feels useful.
The therapist’s session formats are not listed here, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or make it simpler to focus on skills practice without commuting. Licensed professionals can use similar ACT, CBT, and attachment techniques online as in person, and the therapist will help adapt exercises to your day-to-day routines.
