More about Marquita

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas with over 14 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I am also currently licensed as a counselor in the state of Louisiana. I have a wide array of experience working with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I am a expert in my field and I helped many individuals overcome situational barriers such as abuse/trauma, job stress, divorce, blended families, relocation/transition and more.

My counseling style is compassionate, patient, non-judgmental and client centered. I am sensitive to the needs of all my clients. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, christian counseling, and client centered counseling. I will incorporate a specific needs based treatment plan to help you get your best foot forward.

Healing, extra support, reflection, positive changes, and guidance is just moments within reach!

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I lost my mom last year and Marquita is the first therapist I’ve spoken to since then and wow. I can’t even explain in words how she made me feel. She made me feel heard, understood, no judgment, and all with the best advice! I literally felt like I was talking to a friend. She listened when I needed her to and gave advice when I needed it. This experience has changed me for the better and without her, I wouldn’t have had a breakthrough like I did right now. I’m so happy with who BetterHelp paired with me!
