About Marsha

Marsha Broers is an Illinois-licensed clinician (LCPC) with more than two decades of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, addiction challenges, trauma, and grief.

Background and approach

She draws on a client-centered stance to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment and uses practical strategies when appropriate to help clients manage symptoms and move toward their goals. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including mood and panic disorders, substance-related problems, family of origin and relationship difficulties, and issues such as abandonment, codependency, guilt, and loneliness.

Marsha adapts the conversation and therapeutic plan to fit each person’s circumstances, emphasizing sensitivity and compassion while collaborating on steps forward. She encourages the courage it takes to begin therapy and welcomes new clients who are ready to explore change and healing.

Practical Approaches for Online Care and Skill-Building

Marsha integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a client-centered framework into remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical tools to change those patterns; it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, offering a supportive environment where clients set the pace and priorities for their work.

Finding the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and current challenges to determine whether CBT techniques, client-centered exploration, or a combination fits best, and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work while traveling, or maintain connection from home, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical skills, emotional processing, and problem solving in a format that suits the individual.
