Marcia Peetz, LPC

Marcia Peetz is a licensed professional counselor who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles. She offers a calm, compassionate style and can include faith-based perspectives for clients who want spiritual guidance alongside therapy. Her tone is warm and straightforward, aimed at people who need clear help with emotional overwhelm and relationship concerns.

Marcia uses several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take workable steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolbox for addressing unhelpful thinking and easing anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Attachment-based ideas guide work on connection and communication patterns that cause repeated hurt. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need concrete tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Client-centered techniques keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person in the room.

She has five years of clinical experience as an LPC in Missouri. That experience includes helping people with complicated relationship patterns, codependency, abandonment concerns, body image, chronic illness stress, and recovery from past abuse. Marcia aims to make therapy straightforward and practical, helping people build clearer communication, stronger boundaries, and more manageable day-to-day coping.

If you want a therapist who combines practical skills with gentle listening, Marcia offers a collaborative, value-driven approach to move toward more stable emotional balance and healthier relationships.

Approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, concrete steps toward a life that matters to them. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and conflicts about commitment or life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and how past bonds affect current relationships, helping people change how they connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That choice can be reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses so people feel the plan fits them.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make attending sessions easier by fitting into a work break or cutting commute time. It can also let people use shorter check-ins when needed or avoid video if low bandwidth or limited camera time is a concern. Licensed therapists can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to these practical constraints so therapy aligns with everyday life.
