About Marcus
Marcus Litterst is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 22 years of clinical experience helping people navigate low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, and grief.
Background and approach
He emphasizes each person's strengths and treats clients as experts of their own lives, working alongside them to build motivation, confidence, and clearer direction. Marcus urges prospective clients to recognize the courage it takes to seek support and frames that first step as a meaningful part of change.
His approach blends evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, and goal-oriented strategies to address both emotional pain and practical obstacles like communication problems and life purpose questions. He draws on motivational interviewing and trauma-focused tools when relevant to help clients move from stuck patterns toward usable coping skills.
Marcus practices in Florida as an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and conducts sessions in English for those located in the state.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Marcus integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while they explore personal goals and values. He may also draw on Motivational Interviewing when clients seek help increasing their readiness or commitment to change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marcus works with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than relying on a single technique. Together they review what feels most useful and adapt methods over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice new skills between meetings, and access counseling from wherever the client is located within Florida.
