Theresa Marschik, LCSW, CSW

Theresa Marschik is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Colorado. Theresa writes and talks plainly so people can understand next steps and feel heard from the first appointment.

Theresa uses a conversational style and adapts her approach to each person's needs. She focuses on practical problem solving, building self-esteem, and improving communication in relationships. She also offers support for grief, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and aging and geriatric issues.

Her approach draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person's priorities, cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness techniques to ease worry and improve focus. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to set achievable goals and notice progress along the way.

Theresa has 12 years of direct clinical experience in individual therapy and has worked in social work roles for longer. She aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people feel empowered to try new strategies. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client and what will fit into their daily life.

Theresa encourages people to take the first step even when change feels hard. She supports practical tools and steady encouragement so clients can build confidence and cope better with stress, loss, career changes, and relationship challenges.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Theresa often draws on client-centered therapy to let the client's goals guide each session. This approach focuses on listening closely and shaping conversations around what matters most to the person, which helps remote sessions stay personal and relevant.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT works well online because exercises and homework can be assigned between visits and reviewed together. Mindfulness therapy is another common tool she uses to help with stress and sleep; simple breathing and attention practices can be taught and practiced in video or phone conversations.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and she will adjust strategies as progress is made. Clients help set priorities and choose homework or practices that match their daily routines.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to continue steady work on goals when life changes occur.
