About Marcie

Marcie Stover Jividen offers support to people seeking relief from stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and related emotional concerns. She draws on more than two decades of clinical experience in Pennsylvania and adapts her approach to each person's needs, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to match individual circumstances.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassionate care while helping clients take the often-difficult first steps toward change. Marcie uses several evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), alongside client-centered techniques and trauma-focused work such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Her background includes work with children, youth, and adults, and she integrates interactive and expressive modalities when appropriate. With a focus on empowerment and collaborative goal-setting, she helps clients explore patterns, develop coping skills, and pursue more satisfying, stable ways of living.

Evidence-Based Therapies Offered Remotely

Marcie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility through acceptance and mindful action. When trauma is a central issue, EMDR may be used as a trauma-focused intervention to address distressing memories and their emotional impact.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marcie works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts plans over time so therapy remains practical and aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from varied locations and to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules. Licensed professionals can use these tools to provide consistent, approachable support while tailoring session format to what works best for each person.
