Marsha Carlton LCSW

Beginning in the first therapy session, I’ll ask questions to gain an understanding of where you have been, where you are now, and where you want to go. As we move forward in therapy, I will guide you toward your therapy goals and help you understand your thought patterns and behaviors. At all points along the way, we will reexamine your goals, maybe decide on new ones, and incorporate the theory of working hard, playing hard, and resting hard!

My approach is work with you to connect your mind, heart, body, and spirit! I customize various treatment methods to the person and their unique situation. Modalities I apply during the therapeutic process include Emotional Validation, Complicated Grief Therapy, Traumatic Grief Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychotherapy, as well as addressing cognitive distortions. I use Solution Focused, Client Centered, Existential, and Motivational Interviewing to determine your values and elicit change. Often used are a Strengths Approach, Forgiveness Therapy, and Mindfulness. Emotional Freedom Technique, aka Tapping and Affirmations are also frequently used.
