About Marshawna
Marshawna Hoyte is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She works with individuals who are looking to build self-esteem, handle parenting stresses, or get through major life changes.
Her approach is warm and respectful, aimed at making the first steps feel doable for someone who may be anxious about starting therapy. Marshawna adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation.
How Marshawna works
Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside chances to talk through painful feelings. She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, when past trauma or hard memories get in the way of daily life. She also helps with grief, compassion fatigue, anger, and issues tied to abandonment or guilt and shame.
Problems like communication breakdowns, fatherhood issues, or seasonal mood shifts are addressed with straightforward strategies and supportive listening. The aim is better coping, not quick fixes. Marshawna brings sensitivity and patience to sessions so clients feel heard.
She encourages small changes that add up over time. People learn skills to manage symptoms and to make decisions that fit their values. Based in Ohio, she offers sessions in English and uses a flexible format to meet different needs.
Taking the first step can be hard, and she frames beginning therapy as a courageous move toward clearer days.

Using EMDR and Online Care Together
Marshawna uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, usually called EMDR, to help people who carry distressing memories or trauma that affect daily life. EMDR works by processing painful memories in ways that can reduce their emotional hold and make them easier to manage during day-to-day activities.Her overall approach combines talk-based work with practical coping strategies. She listens first, then helps clients choose which methods fit their goals. Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process based on needs, past experiences, and what feels workable for the person in therapy.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work well for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or when someone prefers typing over talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity between sessions.
