About Marcell
Marcell Gary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana. She brings eight years of clinical experience and focuses on practical, down-to-earth care for people dealing with mood and relationship challenges. She uses a blend of approaches to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and bipolar mood concerns.
Sessions often focus on skills to cope with panic, improve communication, and reduce self-critical thinking. Marcell also supports clients facing grief, intimacy-related struggles, anger, and life transitions.
How Marcell works
In the therapy room she leans on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors. Mindfulness techniques help people notice what is happening in the moment without getting swept up in it. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify values and take steps toward a meaningful life despite difficult feelings.
Marcell has worked across inpatient and outpatient settings and as a clinical director, so she is familiar with a range of mental health situations. That background informs how she builds clear, manageable plans with each person. Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented.
She helps people set small, realistic steps and checks in on progress. Sessions combine practical exercises, reflective conversation, and problem-solving tailored to each person’s needs.

How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take action toward those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and mood struggles where a person wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and mood disorders. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices so people can respond differently to strong emotions and reduce reactive behaviors.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with one approach and adding tools from another as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and discussion. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not preferred. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, journaling-style reflection, and ongoing motivation between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain steady progress.
