About Marci

Marci Holloway is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas with 28 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, mood and anger regulation, and related life challenges. Marci aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's specific situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all method.

Background and approach

Marci emphasizes practical steps and clear goals during sessions so clients know what to try between meetings. Marci draws from several well-known therapies when needed, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and somatic skills for working with strong emotions. She also uses client-centered methods that follow the client's pace and priorities.

The mix is chosen to match the issue and the person's comfort level. She has experience with a broad range of concerns such as depression, bipolar mood issues, panic, postpartum depression, grief and end-of-life matters, workplace compassion fatigue, and stress from major life changes. Marci also addresses topics like forgiveness, jealousy, infidelity, and life purpose in sessions when relevant.

She does not provide disability paperwork, return-to-work recommendations, employer letters, court advocacy, or courtroom appearances. Her practice is intended for therapeutic support, coaching, and skill building toward clearer goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client's lead, building a trusting relationship, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to name priorities and decide on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It offers clear tools and exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that keep problems going.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It can be useful for people who struggle with anger, mood swings, or relationship conflicts.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, comfort level, and the specific problem. That process can shift over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to keep consistent work between meetings. Licensed professionals can use those formats to teach skills, review exercises, and track progress in a way that fits each person's routine.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
