She adapts conversations and plans to match a person's needs and pace. Sessions often include ways to manage strong emotions, cope with life changes, and rebuild confidence.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. Marshawna has experience guiding people through communication problems, family problems, and issues around fatherhood and parenting. She pays attention to shame, guilt, isolation, and the search for life purpose.
Seasonal mood shifts and young adult concerns are also within her scope of work. Her clinical approach can include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a method sometimes used for processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact. She works collaboratively to decide what fits best for each person.
Marshawna aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She encourages small, practical steps so progress feels doable. Taking the first step can be hard, and she recognizes that starting therapy takes courage.
Therapeutic approaches offered and how they work online
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is offered as one approach Marshawna may use. It involves guided attention and sometimes bilateral stimulation to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge. People often use it for trauma-related symptoms and lingering painful memories.In practice, sessions focus on plain talk and practical coping strategies alongside any targeted methods like EMDR. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which approaches fit their situation, goals, and comfort level. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and expressive writing-style work possible between longer sessions. Together these options let people fit therapy into work breaks, childcare windows, or days when a shorter check-in is best.
