About Marsha
Marsha Litton-Baker is a Tennessee licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people wrestling with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, anger, motivation, and self-esteem. Her approach treats each person as the expert in their own life.
She offers steady guidance while helping clients take small, doable steps toward change. She uses methods grounded in attachment work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and client-centered listening. In sessions she helps people identify patterns that get in the way and practices new ways of thinking and responding.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to be clear and concrete, with skills to use between visits. Marsha emphasizes collaboration and respect. She listens first, then helps set goals that feel realistic.
Progress is measured by practical changes people notice in daily life rather than abstract checklists. Her interests cover a wide range of concerns including relationships, trauma and abuse, family issues, grief, eating and body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and work-related problems. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment and commitment challenges, and ADHD-related concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first session. Marsha works with each person to build a plan that fits their needs and pace.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections influence current reactions. It helps people see where trust and closeness become difficult and supports building more supported ways of relating over time.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening without judgment and following the person's pace. The therapist provides acceptance and reflection so people can explore their own solutions and strengthen their sense of self.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems that respond to skill practice between sessions.
Marsha aims to match approach to need through a collaborative process. Early conversations focus on goals, preferences, and practical concerns so the plan fits the person's life. She works with clients to adjust methods if something is not helping.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and allow steady contact when in-person visits are difficult. They also make it possible to practice strategies in real time and check in between sessions to keep progress moving.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
