About Marcella
Marcella Groover is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Arkansas with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses related issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and dissociation.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on understanding what led to current feelings and on building practical skills to manage them. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to look at thoughts and behaviors, and from client-centered work to listen for what matters most to the person in the room.
Marcella also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) strategies to help people notice difficult thoughts without being driven by them. Attachment-Based methods are applied when relationship patterns and early connections are part of the concern. The Gottman Method is used for clients who want to address communication problems and commitment issues in relationships.
In practice she encourages clear, manageable steps rather than long lectures. Clients can expect conversations about patterns, short exercises to try between sessions, and checking progress as therapy continues. Marcella aims to help people sort through guilt, shame, and other painful feelings tied to relationships and life events.
She works in Arkansas and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online options.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. Online sessions can use simple ACT exercises to build willingness to feel hard emotions while still moving toward meaningful goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In remote sessions CBT commonly focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing short behavioral experiments between meetings to see what changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that formed early and how they show up now. When attachment concerns drive anxiety or guilt, the therapist and client talk through relational stories and try different ways of relating in day-to-day life.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which approaches fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and make adjustments as therapy progresses. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited, or video sessions for full conversation. These practical options can help therapy fit around other responsibilities without promising particular services.
