About Theresa
Theresa Marschik is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical support for adults facing family and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and aims to make conversations straightforward. She welcomes people who are juggling stress, relationships, grief, parenting strains, or changes at work and life.
Theresa works from Colorado and brings compassionate, respectful care to each interaction. Theresa holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW - and a CSW, registered in Colorado and Oklahoma.
Background and approach
She has 12 years of experience as a therapist and has spent much of her career helping people with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and communication problems. Her work also covers adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, and family of origin issues. In sessions she keeps goals clear and conversations focused.
Theresa uses methods like client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns and try small changes. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build new habits and practical coping skills. Theresa adapts the plan to fit each person’s situation and priorities.
She believes the first step is often the hardest, and she aims to support and empower people as they try new ways of handling old problems. If someone needs straightforward coaching around life transitions, parenting questions, or healing after loss, she offers a collaborative, down-to-earth approach.
Approaches that fit online family and parenting work
Theresa often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to support practical change. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and shaping the conversation around your goals so you feel heard and respected. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then tests small, doable changes to break those patterns.She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when helpful. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep. Solution-focused therapy looks for what is already working and builds on it to reach near-term goals like calmer family conversations or better sleep routines.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Theresa will talk with each person about needs, goals, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process guides which methods are emphasized in sessions so plans match what the client wants to try.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions keep things accessible, and live chat or text messaging lets people check in between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into day-to-day life and to practice new skills when situations arise.
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.
