About Marcia
Marcia Peetz, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. She writes plainly and listens closely to what feels most urgent. Her style is warm and faith-aware for those who want spiritual perspective alongside mental health work.
Marcia centers sessions on clear, practical steps that fit everyday life. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to spot patterns in thoughts and behavior. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and build small habits that reflect those values.
Attachment-based ideas inform how she talks about relationships and early wounds. That helps people understand why certain patterns repeat and how to try new ways of connecting. Dialectical behavior elements are used when people need skills for emotion regulation and communication under stress.
Marcia has five years of clinical experience as a licensed professional counselor in Missouri. She works with individuals who want to process loss, navigate relationship shifts, manage chronic stress, or address codependency and related concerns. Sessions aim to make problems more manageable and to strengthen everyday coping.
People who choose her can expect a collaborative tone. She balances practical skill teaching with time to reflect on meaning and values. For parents or caregivers feeling overwhelmed, she offers focused support for caregiver stress and related strains.
How certain approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and codependency by clarifying what matters and taking small consistent steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that started early in life and shows how those patterns affect current connections. It can help people understand repeated dynamics and try different ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room, using listening and reflection to help people find their own answers and build self-trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marcia uses these methods collaboratively, helping clients test what feels useful and adjusting the plan as goals change. She aims to blend skill teaching, values work, and attention to relationship history based on each person’s needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use written or verbal exercises between meetings to practice new skills in day-to-day situations.
