Marjorie StallardLPC

Marjorie Stallard is an LPC who focuses on practical, evidence-based care for people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and parenting challenges. She practices in Virginia and brings four years of clinical experience to sessions. Her approach is straightforward and aimed at helping people manage day-to-day struggles and major life changes, including concerns around pregnancy and childbirth.

She works with individuals in one-on-one and group settings, helping them sort through symptoms like panic, low mood, dissociation, and phobias. Marjorie offers assessment and diagnostic evaluations when clinically appropriate, and she addresses issues related to miscarriage, postpartum depression, and sexual abuse in a measured way.

In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to reduce distress and improve coping skills. That means practical tools, clear goals, and attention to how symptoms affect daily life. She also supports people navigating first responder stress, veteran and armed forces issues, and the psychological effects of disasters.

Her background includes work with diverse populations across individual and group formats. Marjorie helps people understand their reactions and develop plans to manage symptoms and move forward. She aims for accessible, plainspoken care that fits into a person’s routine.

People interested in starting can expect a short intake to match goals and needs. The approach is collaborative, and sessions focus on real-world strategies to handle anxiety, trauma, parenting strain, and life transitions.

Evidence-based approaches and how they work online

Marjorie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and thought-management techniques to reduce anxiety and panic. These tools are useful for everyday stress and for managing symptoms during pregnancy and postpartum.

She also uses trauma-informed methods that help people process upsetting events at a pace they can tolerate. This work focuses on reducing intrusive memories, improving sleep and safety, and building routines that support recovery after sexual assault, disaster, or other traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. Progress is reviewed and methods can be adjusted over time so sessions match changing needs.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work or parenting, shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible, and being able to connect without travel. These conveniences can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy day while working toward concrete goals.
