About Marcia

Marcia Winter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three years of clinical experience based in Florida. She draws on hospital and child dependency work to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and codependency-related patterns.

Marcia currently works as an emergency room social worker and often provides brief interventions after traumatic events or sudden life changes. That role gives her direct experience with people in crisis and with families navigating loss, medical crises, and end-of-life issues.

In longer-term sessions she focuses on clear, practical goals. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify steps that make a real difference.

Her approach is straightforward and nonjudgmental. Sessions tend to be conversational, with attention to immediate problems and to small skills that can reduce stress and improve boundaries. Marcia also draws on her background working with adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, addiction, and attachment concerns when these come up.

People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or getting lost in relationships often come for help with setting limits and managing strong emotions. Marcia works with individual adults to clarify goals and practice concrete strategies that fit everyday life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach keep the conversation focused on the client's priorities and immediate concerns, which helps when sorting relationship or caregiving pressures.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, feelings, and bodily cues. Practicing these skills in session can make it easier to respond differently to anxiety, urges, or codependent cravings rather than reacting automatically.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps that move a situation forward. This method works well when someone wants brief, goal-oriented work to change patterns like people-pleasing or difficulty setting boundaries.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, and will adapt the methods over time to fit the client’s needs.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in real life between sessions. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help clients carry changes into daily routines.
