More about Marika
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LPCC
I am an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) in the state of Ohio. I started in the social work field in 2004 and have since worked with many different populations. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction/recovery, parenting issues, & career difficulties.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy and trusting a stranger with your story is courageous!
I am a great fit as a counselor for people who are ready for change and want it now! I ask you questions to get you thinking; to learn how to trust yourself and build boundaries where needed. If you are ready to take a personal and accountable view of yourself, I can help you with that.
Without asking questions, how do we find the answers we seek for ourselves?

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
