About Marcella
Marcella Prosper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and anger. Marcella helps people who feel stuck by talking through what matters and what gets in the way of change.
She focuses on practical skills and clear conversations. That can mean learning ways to notice strong feelings, trying new behaviors, and testing small changes between sessions. Marcella draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people shift unhelpful thinking and take steps that matter to them.
Attachment-Based Therapy is part of how she looks at relationship patterns. Marcella pays attention to how early connection styles show up in current conflicts and intimacy issues. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when emotions feel overwhelming and people need simple strategies for managing intensity.
Marcella describes her work as straightforward and collaborative. Sessions include talking, problem solving, and practicing short exercises that can be used in daily life. She asks about each person’s goals and adjusts the focus as those goals change.
She works with a wide range of concerns beyond anger, including self-esteem, depression, ADHD, caregiving stress, and issues tied to identity or life transitions. Marcella expects honest conversation and practical next steps rather than quick fixes. If you are ready to take a first step, her process begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Marcella uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking committed actions even when emotions are strong. It can help when anger leads to avoidance or gets in the way of the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to test and change patterns that fuel anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about what matters to the client, try different techniques, and adjust based on what is helpful. That collaborative process helps shape session goals and exercises.
The practical benefits of meeting online include fitting sessions into a busy day and using short, focused check-ins when needed. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Many people find online sessions help them keep regular momentum between appointments and practice skills in real-life settings without long travel time.
