About Marsha

Marsha Johnson is an LMHC who draws on a blend of cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and motivational enhancement methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She centers sessions on each person’s lived experience, building plans that highlight individual strengths and practical coping skills.

Background and approach

With 15 years as a licensed counselor in Massachusetts, she integrates expressive elements from her background to support clients working through relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem challenges, mood disorders, and attention-related issues such as ADHD. Her practice also attends to complex and overlapping life stressors including caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, bereavement, and multicultural concerns.

Marsha has experience across settings that include hospice work and services for people facing aging and geriatric issues, cancer, and family-of-origin dynamics. She aims to combine empathy with evidence-based techniques so clients can develop sustainable strategies for sleeping and eating difficulties, anger management, career worries, and finding renewed purpose.

Marsha provides care in English and offers a collaborative, strengths-focused therapeutic environment where practical problem solving and emotional processing are balanced to meet each client’s priorities.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care



Marsha uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete behavioral strategies for managing anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and attention-related challenges. She also incorporates humanistic methods that emphasize personal strengths, self-exploration, and collaborative goal-setting to support meaning, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marsha works together with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting methods over time so care stays relevant and effective. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in planning and progressing toward practical outcomes.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those managing caregiving, work, or health-related constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills between sessions while fitting therapy into daily life.
