Marquita WooleyLPC

Marquita Wooley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who blends person-centered care with practical tools to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She frames sessions around the client's pace and priorities, offering steady support for people navigating grief, LGBT issues, and the emotional challenges that follow childbirth and the postpartum period. Marquita writes and speaks plainly so parents and caregivers can focus on next steps rather than jargon.

She draws from a range of approaches to tailor sessions to each person. That can mean using cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns. It can also mean applying acceptance-based skills when emotions feel overwhelming. The overall aim is to build skills that make daily life feel more manageable.

Marquita has 17 years of clinical experience across community mental health, hospitals, residential settings, and private practice. She has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and with service members, veterans, and their dependents. Those settings gave her experience at different levels of care, from short-term crisis support to longer-term therapy.

Her background in sociology and counseling psychology informs a practical, person-focused style. Marquita emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients set clear, realistic goals. She helps people identify small changes that add up over time.

People interested in working together begin with a short matching process and then schedule sessions that fit their calendar. Marquita encourages steady, manageable steps toward emotional stability and balance.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then taking values-based action. It can help with anxiety, stress, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to reframe thinking and solve problems. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and sleep difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and working through strong emotions to improve emotional regulation and healing after loss or relationship stress.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adapt strategies over time based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the available biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting someone join from a more convenient location. Licensed professionals can guide pacing and home practice so skills transfer into daily routines without promising specific outcomes.
