About Marcia
Marcia Koetting is a New Jersey licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a decade of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and LGBTQ-related concerns.
Background and approach
She approaches each person with respect for their knowledge of their own life, focusing on individual strengths as the foundation for recovery and change. Her style blends client-centered values with practical cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and build skills for daily life.
Marcia emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, encouraging clients to take gradual steps toward clearer goals and greater well-being. She frames the therapeutic process as a courageous choice and offers steady support while clients experiment with new ways of coping.
Available to work with English-speaking clients in New Jersey, Marcia aims to create a supportive environment that honors each person’s story and goals. Her practice is suited to those seeking a blend of empathic listening and concrete strategies to address emotional and behavioral challenges.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Marcia uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress and emotional distress, and then teaches practical skills for changing those patterns. She also employs client-centered therapy, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them build on their own strengths.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together; she collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps determine when to focus on skill-building, when to explore personal meaning, and how to pace progress so it feels manageable.
Online therapy with Marcia can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, and let clients choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working on stress, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, and mood symptoms.
