About Marcia
Marcia Peetz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship strain. She writes in a compassionate, straightforward way and offers faith-informed support for clients who want spiritual perspectives included in therapy.
Her sessions focus on practical skills and real-life steps. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them set goals they can actually use. Marcia leans on Motivational Interviewing to support change and on Client-Centered techniques to keep conversations collaborative and respectful.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she looks at relationship patterns and reactions to loss or abandonment.
Marcia has five years of experience as a practicing counselor. That experience includes helping people with communication problems, caregiving stress, body image, chronic illness or pain, and separation or divorce. She emphasizes clear steps, steady pacing, and listening closely to each person's values.
People who choose Marcia can expect a guided, conversational approach that balances practical exercises with space to process feelings. She helps clients build tools for daily life while also addressing deeper wounds tied to attachment and past trauma.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Marcia uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and find their own reasons to change. This approach is conversational and works well for making gradual, sustainable changes.
She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and committing to actions that align with values. Attachment-Based Therapy shows up when relationship patterns, abandonment, or trust problems are a focus; it helps look at how past bonds shape current reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting as therapy moves forward.
If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy days, shortening travel time, or allowing quieter, focused check-ins that can be done between other responsibilities. Marcia aims to make sessions practical and easy to fit into everyday life while adapting techniques to what each person needs. -
