Marcia Howard is a California-licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience providing therapy and counseling to individuals facing a range of life challenges. She holds a state credential that reflects advanced clinical training and authorization to provide psychotherapy (CA LCSW 23049).
Over the course of her career she has supported clients presenting with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns and low confidence, depression, relationship issues, family conflicts, eating disorders, anger management difficulties, career challenges, and coping with life changes.
Marcia approaches therapy from the perspective that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses strengths that can be mobilized to address what is challenging. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage, and she offers steady support to clients as they move through that process.
Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be similarly effective as traditional in-person care for most of these issues.
One major benefit is convenience - clients can connect in the way that best suits them, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity of care.
Every therapist involved in online care is a licensed professional, and if a client feels a different fit would be helpful they are typically able to switch therapists. For many people, online therapy is a practical and accessible option for addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
