About Marcia
Marcia Blake is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of clinical experience based in Texas. She works with adults and adolescents who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. She also supports people facing addiction, bipolar moods, compassion fatigue, and other life changes.
Marcia has practiced in residential programs, community mental health, group settings, and private practice. She values building a strong working connection and treats clients as experts on their own lives. Her background includes individual and group counseling across many settings and populations.
Her way of working blends evidence-based methods with creative techniques. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused ideas. Marcia may also use writing, music, or art to support insight and skill building.
Sessions focus on increasing self-awareness and spotting negative core beliefs that fuel reactions like anger or avoidance. She helps people identify triggers, practice new skills, and test changes in everyday life. The emphasis is practical - noticing patterns, trying new responses, and adjusting what doesn’t work.
She aims to help clients learn coping strategies for stress, manage intense mood shifts, and repair strained relationships. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the site’s online options.
How sessions work
How Marcia uses therapeutic approaches online
Marcia commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which helps with anger, anxiety, and mood challenges. DBT teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.She also uses attachment-informed ideas to help people understand how early relationship patterns shape reactions today. That perspective can clarify why certain situations trigger intense anger and what might soften those automatic responses. Deciding which approach to emphasize is collaborative; she will work with each person to see what fits their goals, history, and practical needs.
