About Marci

Marci Holloway is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience based in Texas. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and relationship challenges. Marci emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care while tailoring conversations to each person's needs.

Her work often addresses trauma and abuse, anger and mood dysregulation, depression and bipolar concerns, and career or life-purpose questions. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, and the emotional demands of hospice and end-of-life situations. Aging and geriatric issues are among the areas she pays attention to when relevant.

Marci uses a blend of practical approaches in sessions. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the person's lead and uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify thinking patterns that affect mood and behavior. Mindfulness and somatic techniques are woven in to help people notice body sensations and calm intense feelings.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She will work with each person to shape a plan that fits their goals and life circumstances. Marci names the courage it takes to seek change and positions herself as a steady support during that process.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered work means the conversation starts with what matters most to the person. The therapist listens and follows priorities, then shapes the focus together. This approach helps when someone needs a space to sort feelings and clarify goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. In sessions, people learn small, concrete skills to test different thinking patterns and try new reactions. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and managing mood swings.

Mindfulness practice teaches noticing thoughts and body sensations without reacting right away. It can reduce rumination and help with stress, trauma responses, and emotional regulation. Somatic ideas are sometimes added to bring attention to the body and release tension built into posture or breath.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to pick methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adjust pace and techniques as progress unfolds.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, cut commuting time, and allow short check-ins when a full session is not possible. Discuss practical needs with the therapist to choose the best way to meet during treatment.
