About Marsha
Marsha Tunstall is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 25 years of experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing relationship strain, sleeping problems, anger, parenting stress, and major life changes.
Marsha centers her work on each person's strengths and lived experience. She treats people as the experts on their own stories and collaborates to set realistic goals.
How Marsha works
Sessions focus on practical steps, small changes, and building confidence rather than complicated theory. Her approach blends client-centered care with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. That means Marsha listens first, then offers tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change when motivation feels low. Clients can expect straightforward conversations and concrete strategies for daily life. She often breaks problems into manageable tasks and checks progress week to week.
The aim is steady improvement and clearer choices, not quick fixes. Marsha has worked across many settings over two and a half decades. Her background includes supporting people with chronic pain, caregiver stress, mood and panic disorders, smoking or vaping cessation, and women's issues.
She provides services in English and practices throughout South Carolina.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Marsha uses client-centered therapy to place the person's priorities first. In this approach she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people name their strengths so they can make clearer choices. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioral tests to shift mood and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marsha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is helpful and what is not, so the plan evolves from week to week.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video lets people work face to face, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins or tight schedules. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to use tools between sessions.
