About Marquia
Marquia Rivers is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Marquia speaks English and brings six years of clinical experience to her work.
She aims to create a respectful and compassionate space. Conversations are shaped around what each person needs. Marquia tailors sessions and treatment plans to the individual instead of using a one-size-fits-all script.
How Marquia works
In session she listens for what feels most urgent and practical. That might mean working on communication habits, coping skills for anxiety, or ways to rebuild confidence after a painful event. She also addresses related areas such as attachment struggles, abandonment fears, and caregiver stress.
Marquia has helped people navigate complicated life changes like divorce and blended family difficulties. She provides support for issues tied to substance use, eating and food-related concerns, and co-occurring mental health challenges. Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and clear, steady conversation.
Starting therapy can feel hard, and Marquia acknowledges that first step. She partners with each client to set realistic goals and to adjust the plan as progress is made. Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support options
Online approaches and how they help
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical, skill-based work. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills for anxiety and stress through step-by-step practice and short exercises between sessions. This helps people manage symptoms and handle daily pressures more effectively.Another approach concentrates on improving relationship and attachment patterns by examining how past experiences shape current reactions. Sessions often include role play and communication practice to change unhelpful habits and strengthen connections with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what is not.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps people who prefer writing or need ongoing prompts. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining consistent progress.
