About Marcia
Marcia Farlow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. She brings four years of clinical experience helping people navigate grief, depression, and major life changes.

Background and approach
Her practice draws on a mix of approaches. Marcia uses elements from cognitive-behavioral and acceptance-based methods alongside existential ideas about meaning and purpose. She tailors sessions to the person, choosing techniques that match each person's needs and goals.
Typical conversations include sorting through loss, managing low mood, and handling transitions like pregnancy and childbirth or a midlife shift. She also helps people address control issues, forgiveness, guilt, shame, and loneliness in everyday terms that are easy to follow. Marcia aims for a straightforward and compassionate style.
Sessions focus on small, practical steps and clearer self-understanding. People who want honest talk and steady support for hard emotions often find her approach helpful.
Therapeutic approaches for online help
Marcia commonly draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce low mood and anxiety. These steps are straightforward and focus on real-life problems like sleep, activity, and daily routines.She also uses existential ideas that invite people to reflect on meaning, purpose, and values when facing loss or life transitions. This approach is useful for those wrestling with questions about direction, identity, or major life changes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marcia will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. The plan can change as therapy progresses based on what helps most.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick ways to touch base between sessions and to keep momentum during a busy week. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, and caregiving schedules.
