About Marsha
Marsha Tunstall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 25 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting pressures, anger, and major life changes.
She encourages people to use their own strengths and life experience when facing difficult moments. Sessions focus on what the person brings to the room and practical steps they can try between meetings. Marsha describes clients as the experts on their own story and supports them in identifying next steps they can live with.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change. Solution-focused strategies help set small, realistic goals and track progress.
Marsha often helps people who are trying to reduce substance use, manage mood issues such as panic or depression, or work through grief and caregiver strain. She also assists those coping with chronic pain or illness and people who want help quitting smoking or vaping.
Sessions tend to be practical and focused on skills you can use right away. The emphasis is on making small, doable changes that reduce tension and help manage anger and frustration in everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy starts by listening and reflecting back what matters to you. Online sessions let the therapist follow your lead, help you name priorities, and coach practical steps you want to try between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this looks like identifying unhelpful patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and reviewing what changed. Motivational Interviewing focuses on what you want to change and builds motivation through short, direct conversations that clarify your goals.
Marsha treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She will work with you to pick methods that match your goals and day-to-day life, adjusting the plan as you learn what helps. The partnership is about testing small changes and noticing what sticks.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into a busy schedule, such as shorter check-ins on a break, fewer travel barriers, or easier access when managing caregiving and health needs. Ask about the exact session options when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first meeting.
