About Marsha
Marsha Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar symptoms, and addiction. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, relationship and family strains, grief, parenting challenges, eating concerns, anger, and ADHD. Marsha practices in Louisiana and brings 18 years of experience to her work.
She favors a practical, person-focused style. Sessions are arranged so people leave with tools they can use again. Marsha blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive and solution-focused ideas to create clear, doable steps for daily life.
EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - is part of her approach for people who have trauma-related symptoms, grief, or strong anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are also used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
In the room she emphasizes respect and nonjudgment. Conversations aim to understand what matters to each person and to plan manageable changes. Expectations and goals are set together so progress is tracked in simple ways.
Her background includes many years supporting adults across settings. That experience informs a straightforward, solution-minded practice that focuses on improving functioning and coping. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns back, and helps people find the solutions that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific tools to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.EMDR is used for people who have trauma-related symptoms, grief, or intense anxiety and involves a structured process to reduce distress tied to past events. Each method has different strengths, and finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine approaches based on needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing one method.
Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, such as scheduling a shorter check-in during a break or working with a therapist who is based in a different part of the state. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online or in-person options are offered before booking. The emphasis is on practical access and on shaping therapy to match daily life and responsibilities rather than promising a specific service.
