About Marquita
Marquita Wooley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience. She uses client-centered and evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and concerns about self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people make changes at a pace that feels right for them.
She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with a client-centered stance.
How Marquita works
Sessions focus on practical skills, values clarification, and learning new ways to respond to difficult feelings. Conversations are tailored to each person's goals and circumstances. Her background includes work across community mental health, hospitals, residential and partial hospitalization settings, and independent practice.
That variety gives her experience with different levels of care and a wide range of life challenges. She has also worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Marquita pays attention to real-life problems such as caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, fertility and postpartum concerns, first responder and veteran issues, multicultural stressors, and the emotional fallout from infidelity or commitment questions.
She draws from multiple methods to match the approach to the issue at hand. Sessions may include skills practice, values-based exercises, and guided conversation about emotions and relationships. She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can explore what matters to them and take steps toward a more satisfying life.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often use values worksheets and behavioral experiments that people can practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it works well online because thought records and homework exercises can be shared and reviewed remotely. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on deepening emotional awareness and improving how people express needs; online sessions can use guided conversation and reflective exercises to practice new ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and challenges, then suggest approaches that fit. Together they adjust methods over time so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or skills practice between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different ways of working until the best fit emerges.
