    About Marquita

    Marquita Wooley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who draws on person-centered work to help people make meaningful changes at their own pace. She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools so clients can address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Marquita speaks plainly and creates a calm, respectful space to talk through what feels most urgent.

    She brings 17 years of professional experience across community mental health, hospitals, and private practice settings. That background includes work in acute, residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient levels of care. Marquita has worked with people from many cultural backgrounds and with military-connected individuals, veterans, and civilians.

    Her approach centers on the client and borrows techniques from several methods. Motivational Interviewing is part of her style - she helps people find their own reasons to change. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when those fit.

    In sessions she focuses on what the person wants to work on first. Goals and strategies are tailored to each person’s life and values. Conversations can include skill-building, values clarification, and steps to manage intense feelings or improve daily routines.

    Marquita emphasizes respect and sensitivity in every interaction. She aims to help clients move toward a more manageable, satisfying life at a pace that feels right for them.

  2. How therapeutic approaches guide online work

    Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons to change by using gentle questions and listening. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and building small behaviors that match what matters most, which can help with stress, anxiety, and low mood. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor techniques to the person's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where goals are set based on what matters to the client rather than a fixed plan. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions can fit more easily into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during breaks, and reduce travel time. Online work also makes it possible to practice new skills in everyday settings and to maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
