About Marsha

Marsha Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with 18 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She supports people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and a range of other concerns including panic, social anxiety, and parenting challenges. Her work emphasizes practical strategies that clients can use again when life brings new difficulties.

Drawing on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused methods, she helps clients build skills for improved daily functioning and clearer decision making. Marsha is also trained in EMDR, an approach used to address symptoms linked to post-traumatic stress, grief, and anxiety.

She approaches therapy with respect and without judgment, aiming to create an open atmosphere where people can explore struggles and try new ways of coping. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and an emphasis on tools that translate into everyday life.

Marsha holds licensure credentials in Louisiana and maintains professional standards developed over nearly two decades of counseling adults in varied settings.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Marsha integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR into her online work in ways that focus on practical change and trauma processing. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective strategies, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood instability. EMDR is an evidence-informed method used to process distressing memories and related reactions; when appropriate, it is applied to address post-traumatic stress, grief, and anxiety symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marsha works together with each person to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what is most helpful for their needs and preferences. The aim is to find a path that fits the client's goals rather than impose a single method.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, integrate newly learned skills into daily life, and keep momentum between meetings while tailoring the pace and tools to each person's circumstances.
