Marquita Wooley, LPC

Marquita Wooley, LPC, listens with a person-centered approach and practical tools. She frames sessions around what matters most to each client, helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Marquita writes questions plainly and focuses on small, doable changes. She aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone looking for support.

Marquita studied sociology and counseling psychology before becoming a licensed professional counselor. She has 17 years of experience working in community mental health, hospitals, residential settings, and independent practice. That background includes work with veterans, active duty military, dependents, and a wide range of civilian clients from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Her approach is largely person-centered, but she blends techniques to fit individual needs. Those techniques include cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotion-focused work. In sessions she helps people build coping skills, clarify values, and practice different ways of responding to difficult feelings.

Marquita also addresses practical life stressors such as caregiving strain, fertility and postpartum concerns, communication and commitment issues, and challenges tied to non-monogamous relationships. She names jealousy and infidelity among the relationship topics she can discuss. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who meet with Marquita can expect straightforward conversation, clear goals, and strategies to use between sessions. She works to tailor therapy to each person’s pace and priorities, and to respect cultural differences while helping clients move toward more satisfying daily life.

Therapeutic methods you can use online

Marquita commonly draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and cognitive behavioral methods. Acceptance and commitment approaches help people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. That can be useful for anxiety, grief, and ongoing stress. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on changing thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, and they help with mood, worry, and day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is a process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try techniques that fit their life and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs and priorities become clearer.

Session formats are not specified in this profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use strategies between sessions in the settings where they live and work, which often helps learning translate into everyday routines.
