About Marva
Marva Carter is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 14 years of experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem concerns, and life changes. She works with people who are coping with workplace pressure, relationship strain, grief, or the fallout from substance use. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage strong emotions and build steady routines.
Marva combines several evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people lower reactivity and improve daily functioning. She uses clear strategies to spot patterns that lead to outbursts or avoidance. Clients learn concrete skills for handling pressure at work, dealing with resentment, and reducing substance-related harms.
Her approach is person-centered and strengths-based. That means she listens for what already works in a person's life and builds on those habits. She emphasizes collaboration, setting small goals, and using straightforward tools that fit a client’s rhythm and responsibilities.
Marva has particular experience with addiction and recovery, and with domestic violence recovery contexts. She also supports people handling social anxiety, seasonal mood shifts, and issues around self-worth. Her work includes helping people examine guilt, seek forgiveness when relevant, and repair communication breakdowns.
She stays current through ongoing professional development and workshops. Therapy typically includes skill practice, motivational interviewing techniques to boost readiness for change, and mindfulness exercises to reduce impulsive reactions. People who choose her often want clear, usable steps to manage anger and stress without jargon.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Marva draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify the thoughts and behaviors that escalate anger. CBT sessions focus on recognizing triggers, testing unhelpful thinking, and practicing alternative actions in daily life.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to increase readiness for change. MI helps when someone feels stuck about cutting back on substances or changing an angry pattern. It uses short conversations that boost a person's own reasons for change rather than telling them what to do.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques fit their goals and routine. That discussion shapes the plan and the types of exercises used between sessions.
