About Marcela

Marcela Tschang is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and LGBT-related matters.

Background and approach

With six years of clinical experience, she approaches each client with sensitivity and respect, shaping conversations and plans to fit individual needs rather than relying on one-size-fits-all solutions. Her work often addresses related issues such as attachment, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose.

Marcela uses evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR, to help clients build coping skills, reframe unhelpful patterns, and process difficult emotional material. She emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, supporting clients as they take steps toward greater confidence, clearer boundaries, and a more fulfilling life.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are arranged to match each person’s schedule and preferences.

Approaches for Change and Healing Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning concrete strategies to change them. It is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with self-esteem by teaching practical skills for coping and problem solving. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) involves guided processing of distressing memories and experiences to reduce their emotional intensity, and it is often applied when past events continue to affect present-day feelings or relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marcela works with each person to explore what methods fit their goals, comfort level, and pace, adjusting techniques as therapy unfolds to ensure interventions match the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and geographical convenience. These formats allow ongoing work on skills, emotional processing, and communication without requiring travel, and they can make it easier to maintain regular contact and continuity of care with a licensed professional.
