About Marsha

Marsha Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, and related concerns. She works with adults and draws on practical strategies to help with everyday struggles like grief, relationship strain, addictive behaviors, and mood swings. Her approach aims to be straightforward and respectful so people can talk honestly about what they are living through.

She combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to build clear goals and simple skills. Marsha also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when people need tools to manage intense emotions. Her background includes training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which she integrates when trauma symptoms or past distress are central to the work.

Sessions focus on learning concrete coping skills, changing unhelpful thought patterns, and setting manageable steps toward better functioning. Conversations are collaborative; the person in therapy helps set priorities and tests what works in daily life. Marsha emphasizes approaches that can be reused later when similar problems arise.

With 18 years of experience across clinical settings, she brings familiarity with mood disorders, panic attacks, ADHD challenges, and social anxiety. She aims to create an atmosphere that minimizes judgment and supports steady progress.

Marsha practices in Louisiana and conducts her work in English. People thinking about beginning therapy complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How Marsha's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Marsha often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions; online sessions can preserve that responsive conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches concrete skills to change thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions and tracked in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marsha will work together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean prioritizing skills practice, emotion regulation tools, or trauma-focused techniques depending on what comes up in early sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between sessions. It also supports using worksheets, mood tracking, and in-the-moment skill practice that help make changes stick without promising a specific outcome.
