About Marcia
Marcia Peetz is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people in Missouri manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles. She offers a compassionate, straightforward style and aims to make sessions feel calm and focused for people who are worried and need practical support. Marcia takes time to hear what matters most to each person and to set clear goals together.
She uses a mix of well-known therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. Marcia often combines cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-based ideas to help people change unhelpful patterns and tolerate hard feelings. She also draws on attachment-focused work to address wounds from early relationships and to improve how people connect with others.
Her work covers a broad set of concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, codependency, and recovery from abuse or separation. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image struggles, and dissociation. Sessions are aimed at improving everyday coping, clearer communication, and steadier mood.
Marcia has five years of clinical experience and holds the LPC credential, Licensed Professional Counselor. She practices in Missouri and speaks English. People who prefer to include spiritual or faith perspectives can raise that during intake to see if it fits their goals.

Approaches that guide online conversations
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress where shifting behavior matters.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and improving day-to-day coping skills.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current safety and closeness. This approach can help people who struggle with trust, intimacy, and repeating old patterns in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest techniques from these models that fit the situation. Decisions about focus and methods are collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose audio-only conversations when video is not wanted. Licensed professionals use these options to help clients maintain consistent care and apply new skills between sessions.
