About Marsha

Marsha Litton-Baker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 15 years of clinical experience supporting people through life transitions and emotional challenges. She focuses on helping clients manage stress and anxiety, process grief and loss, address parenting and family concerns, and build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Background and approach

Her work also includes support for relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, and coping with chronic illness or caregiving stress. Marsha draws on a range of therapeutic approaches - such as cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based work, and client-centered methods - to tailor care to each person’s needs.

She views clients as experts in their own lives and emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and strengths-based problem solving. In sessions she aims to empower people to make meaningful changes while honoring the courage it takes to seek support.

Clients can expect an approachable, goal-oriented clinician who balances emotional understanding with actionable strategies. Marsha provides remote services from Tennessee and conducts sessions in English for those seeking flexible formats for therapy.

Approaches for Online Healing and Practical Change

Marsha often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also integrates attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections and to support healthier ways of relating. Client-centered therapy rounds out her practice by prioritizing a respectful, empathetic environment where the client's perspective guides the pace and focus of work.

Choosing the right method is part of therapy itself, and Marsha approaches that decision collaboratively. She listens to each person’s story, discusses goals and preferences, and adapts strategies so the work feels useful and manageable. This partnership helps clients test approaches and adjust plans as needed rather than committing to a single framework from the start.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to continue care from different locations within Tennessee. These formats support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and varied ways to communicate, all intended to make therapeutic work more accessible and consistent for people seeking change.
