About Shaa
Shaa Marcum is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in West Virginia with six years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship concerns, including codependency and issues around intimacy and communication.
She focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. Shaa blends structured skill teaching with emotional processing. Clients learn tools for managing panic, regulating strong emotions, and handling difficult interactions.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. That mix offers both concrete strategies and time to address deeper attachment or grief issues.
Shaa often helps people who struggle with people-pleasing, boundary setting, or living around someone else’s substance use or moods. She also supports those coping with life changes, caregiving stress, or chronic health concerns.
Sessions aim to strengthen day-to-day coping skills, improve communication, and increase emotional awareness. Shaa works collaboratively to set goals and practice skills that fit into regular life. New clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps when worry or avoidance keeps someone from living in line with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking patterns and behaviors with concrete exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions and intimacy struggles.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try strategies, and adjust as needed. Sessions often blend skill practice with discussion about relationship patterns so the work stays practical and relevant to everyday life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. They can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose sessions that fit a lunch break or evening schedule. The therapist will discuss which approach and format best suit a client’s needs and routine during the initial match and first session.
