Maricus Walker, LPC - Therapist in Mississippi

About Maricus

Maricus Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults facing a range of struggles. He offers straightforward, practical help for issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and problems with addiction. He practices in Mississippi and brings three years of clinical experience to his work.

His background includes time in outpatient programs, correctional settings, and inpatient care. That variety shaped a calm, steady approach to difficult moments.

Background and approach

He listens first, then helps people set small, realistic goals for day-to-day life. Sessions focus on what is most bothersome now. Conversations are direct and centered on coping skills, improving communication, and reducing symptoms that interfere with routines.

Maricus uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. He also draws on client-centered and narrative methods to make space for personal stories and values. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is weighing change or feeling stuck.

The result is a blend of practical strategies and steady support. People who want clear steps and a collaborative tone may find this approach helpful. Maricus aims to help clients build skills they can use between sessions and to make progress toward daily life goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect for each person's goals. It creates space for clients to tell their story and for the therapist to follow their lead, which can help with grief, relationship issues, and self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. In online sessions this approach breaks problems into small steps and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, panic, and mood symptoms.

Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment and helps reduce reactivity to stress. Simple breathing and awareness exercises are used to calm the body and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with clients to shape a plan that fits their needs, goals, and preferred pace. Adjustments are made as progress or new concerns emerge.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep work moving forward from home or other locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, check progress, and problem-solve between meetings.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
