About Marsha
Marsha Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with 18 years of clinical experience supporting adults facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, and a range of other challenges.
Background and approach
She blends practical, skills-based work with a respectful, person-focused stance so clients can develop strategies that improve daily functioning and carry forward into future situations. Her approach pairs client-centered connection with structured techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused models, and she also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR when appropriate.
This combination allows her to tailor each plan to what a person needs most - whether that means building emotion regulation, addressing panic and social anxiety, or working through traumatic memories. She aims to create an atmosphere free of judgment where people can explore goals and practice new tools.
Marsha holds LPC credentials and works with adults to address both acute concerns and longer-term patterns. Her work emphasizes collaboration, concrete skills, and measurable progress so clients leave sessions with options they can use beyond the therapy room.
Online Approaches and How They Help
Marsha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where a person's goals and values guide the work, helping with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. When appropriate, she incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for intense emotions and recurring conflict.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods align best with their goals, experiences, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and needs evolve.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These options make regular meetings more accessible and allow clients to practice skills between sessions in whatever format fits their life.
