About Maurshia

Maurshia Guice, LCSW, welcomes people who are worried about stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflicts, or LGBT related concerns. She offers a calm, respectful approach and focuses on practical steps parents and family members can use right away. Conversations are tailored to each person’s situation and goals.

Maurshia makes space for tough feelings and helps identify clear next steps. She has six years of clinical experience and practices in Texas as a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW.

Background and approach

Her style blends practical skills with attention to emotional patterns and attachment. That means she might teach strategies to manage intense emotions, name unhelpful thinking patterns, or work on ways family members reconnect. Maurshia uses several evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral tools for changing thoughts and behaviors, acceptance and commitment ideas for living by values, and attachment-based work to repair family bonds.

She adapts these methods to what a family actually needs instead of following a fixed script. Sessions are conversational and direct. Expect a mix of skill-building, problem-solving, and checking how new behaviors fit into daily life.

She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and straightforward feedback. Parents and family members who want clearer communication, fewer daily fights, or help navigating identity and relationship stress may find this style useful. Maurshia supports people in taking small, steady steps toward healthier family interactions and personal balance.

Online approaches for family and parenting support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It can be useful for families who feel stuck or for parents trying to live by the kind of example they want to set. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thought and behavior that make stress and anxiety worse. It’s helpful for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and day-to-day parenting stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape how family members connect and respond to each other; this work aims to improve trust and emotional safety within families.

Maurshia treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your family, and adjust the work as needed. The plan grows from what you want to change and what feels doable at home, so the process stays collaborative and practical.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These options let busy parents fit support into real life, follow up between sessions, and try tools in the moment. The range of formats makes it easier to get consistent help without long commutes or schedule strain.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
