About Marcia
Marcia Peetz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with five years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship strain, and stress. Marcia includes a faith-informed perspective for clients who want spiritual context alongside mental health work.
She focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Sessions look at communication patterns, ways to manage intense feelings, and how past wounds affect present choices. Marcia uses straightforward tools to help people notice thoughts and behavior, practice new responses, and try small changes between sessions.
Her background blends several evidence-based approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and committed actions. Attachment-based thinking helps when relating to others feels tangled or fearful.
Marcia often supports people dealing with abandonment concerns, attachment issues, body image struggles, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and separation or divorce. She also works with dissociation, communication problems, control and commitment difficulties, and overlapping diagnoses.
Sessions are focused on what a person wants to change and concrete skills to try. For those who want spiritual input, faith perspectives can be woven into conversations when requested. People leaving a lot of guilt or shame about choices may find a practical, faith-aware approach in her work.
How Marcia’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when guilt or shame keeps someone stuck and they want clearer direction for daily choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thinking and behavior, teaching practical skills to test and change unhelpful thoughts and reduce intense emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods fit their goals, combining techniques as needed. Together they decide what to try, how to track progress, and when to adjust the plan based on what helps.
Confirm available session formats before booking, since current options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so practicing new skills can happen between meetings. Licensed professionals often use video or phone options when supported; check which formats this therapist provides to plan a setup that fits daily life.
