About Marcie
Marcie Stover Jividen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 23 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting concerns, anger, and other mood-related issues. Her practice includes people navigating ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and LGBT-related matters, among other areas.
She uses several therapy approaches to help people manage difficult feelings and reactions. Marcie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take practical steps. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Marcie has worked with a wide span of concerns connected to trauma, attachment, and family strain. She notes experience with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment problems, domestic violence, and post-traumatic stress. She also has experience addressing obsessions and compulsions, panic, and mood disorder presentations.
Her approach is straightforward and interactive. Sessions include talking through current problems, practicing skills, and working on strategies to reduce intense reactions. When trauma is part of the picture, she can offer EMDR as a technique to process strong past emotions.
She offers sessions in English and practices in Pennsylvania. Costs vary by location and are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Online ACT sessions typically include exercises to notice thoughts and commit to actions that reduce friction in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real situations. CBT work online often includes short practice tasks between sessions to change thinking patterns that fuel anger and anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy brings concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing better communication. DBT skills taught remotely can be used during moments of rising anger or in planning calmer responses.
Finding the right method is part of treatment. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose and adapt approaches based on the person's goals, comfort, and what proves most helpful in early sessions. That collaborative process is how the course of work gets shaped over time.
