About Marci

Marci Gilpin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of experience providing psychotherapy and supportive services in Virginia.

Background and approach

She focuses on drawing out clients' strengths and helping them apply those resources to real-life challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship concerns, ADHD, sleep difficulties, and life transitions. Her practice emphasizes attention to the whole person, considering emotional, physical, and spiritual needs alongside the influence of family and environment.

Gilpin’s approach centers on mindful assessment of family dynamics and environmental factors that shape behavior and wellbeing. She offers therapies aimed at improving coping skills, communication, and functioning across a wide range of issues such as parenting and family problems, chronic illness or disability, career and self-esteem concerns, and intimacy-related matters.

Clients work collaboratively with her to restore balance and address problems like anger, codependency, commitment or control issues, and compassion fatigue while navigating changes such as divorce, adoption, or fertility challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and perspective, creating a respectful space where personal strengths guide the work and practical concerns like relationships and self-esteem can be explored. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with life changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to help process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact when trauma is a central concern.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to select and adapt methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path up front. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time as progress and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, and other obligations. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access sessions from different locations within Virginia, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working through stress, ADHD-related concerns, grief, relationship challenges, and other issues.
