About Marcia
Marcia Peetz is a licensed professional counselor who helps people in Missouri facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship worries. She brings a compassionate, faith-aware approach for clients who want spiritual perspective alongside therapy. Sessions are practical and focused on everyday change, not long lectures or jargon.
Marcia centers work on clear problems like social anxiety, low self-esteem, and difficulty communicating. She listens for what matters most and helps clients name their feelings and needs.
Background and approach
Therapy often focuses on changing patterns that cause pain and learning small, doable skills to cope better. Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns in close relationships and Attachment-Based Therapy to understand how past bonds affect current behavior.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to help people manage thoughts and commit to value-driven changes. Marcia works with people who are navigating life transitions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image concerns, and the aftermath of loss or separation.
She supports those dealing with complex issues such as dissociation, codependency, or personality-related challenges by breaking problems into manageable steps. With five years of clinical experience as an LPC, Marcia emphasizes connection and steady progress. Conversations are collaborative; clients set goals and try practical strategies between sessions.
The aim is to build resilience and clearer communication so everyday life feels more manageable.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on how emotions shape close relationships and personal patterns. In practice this means identifying recurring emotional reactions and creating new, healthier ways to express needs and connect with others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and commit to actions that match their values; it’s useful for anxiety, depression, and decisions about life direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current behavior and relationships, helping people reframe old patterns and try different ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process may combine elements from different approaches so the plan matches what actually helps the client make changes.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, mood tracking, or ongoing support between longer conversations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
