About Marsha

Marsha Rimler is a licensed clinical social worker based in New York with 20 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, to help clients address mood concerns, relationship struggles, self-esteem and confidence issues, and transitions brought on by life changes. Her work also spans trauma, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, workplace stress, and attention-related concerns among other areas.

Marsha emphasizes a collaborative stance that honors each person as the expert of their own story while identifying strengths that can be mobilized for change. Her approach balances skill-building with empathic listening, aiming to boost coping capacity and clarify goals.

Marsha recognizes that reaching out for support takes courage and frames the initial step of seeking therapy as an important act; she meets clients where they are and helps them move toward clearer priorities and practical strategies for daily life.

Online approaches that combine skills and empathy



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real-life evidence while developing concrete behavioral strategies to reduce symptoms like depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relational patterns formed early in life and how they show up in current relationships, helping people improve emotional connection and boundaries.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work together. Marsha will collaborate with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and may blend methods to create a practical plan that emphasizes strengths and actionable steps.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions and supportive listening without requiring travel, helping clients access care in a way that matches their routines and comfort level.
