01About Marsha
Marsha Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, grief, and issues like ADHD or addiction. Her approach focuses on practical strategies that can be used again when challenges return.
Marsha draws on client-centered listening to understand each person’s priorities. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses solution-focused methods to build doable steps toward immediate goals.
Background and approach
When trauma or overwhelming memories are a factor, she offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, as one option to reduce distress tied to past events. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and crisis coping become central to daily life. Sessions are practical and goal oriented.
Marsha emphasizes skills clients can practice between meetings. She keeps language plain and focuses on what will make day-to-day life easier. With 18 years of experience, Marsha has worked in multiple settings and with diverse adult concerns.
She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard things and try new ways of handling them. Her style is collaborative and focused on real-world results.

04Online support
Approaches that fit online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person’s goals. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help clients clarify what matters most and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, panic, and other mood problems. DBT skills - drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy - teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people who need tools to manage strong feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, life goals, and what methods feel comfortable. That conversation guides whether more CBT skill work, DBT skills practice, EMDR for trauma, or a client-centered plan is tried first, and the plan can shift as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people see facial cues and work through exercises in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make frequent, brief check-ins possible and help maintain momentum between longer sessions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same skill-building and therapeutic conversations as in-person care, while making scheduling and follow-up more convenient.
