She focuses on tailoring therapy to each person’s needs, helping clients explore their thoughts and goals at a comfortable pace and fostering practical change in relationships, coping skills, and self-esteem. Throughout her practice she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Treatment Options

Marquita integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet a range of needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action - it is often used for stress, anxiety, and persistent mood struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping with self-esteem, grief, relationship concerns, and emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marquita works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life context, and she adapts techniques over time as needs change. Clients and therapist make decisions together about focus and pace.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to access care around work, family, and mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, schedule follow-ups, and receive support from licensed professionals in ways that fit daily life.
