About Marcela
Marcela Tschang is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with six years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, concerns related to LGBT identity, relationship challenges, self-esteem, motivation, and depression. Marcela speaks English and Spanish and works with adults in New York.
Her approach is practical and structured. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for processing distressing memories when appropriate. Sessions focus on concrete skills and step-by-step plans rather than vague advice.
Marcela often starts by identifying specific situations that cause distress. She helps clients break those situations into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. From there she suggests experiments and small changes to test what helps and what does not. Homework and brief practice between sessions are common parts of the work.
She pays attention to relationship dynamics and communication patterns when those are relevant. That can include work issues, body image, shame or guilt, feelings of isolation, and questions about life purpose or sexuality. Conversations aim to improve day-to-day functioning and reduce distress in practical ways.

How CBT and EMDR are used in online sessions
CBT is a practical method for spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and habits. Online sessions using CBT focus on specific problems, set clear goals, and use short exercises and between-session practice to change how situations are handled. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories by using guided attention and processing; in online work it is adapted into stepwise protocols and careful pacing to address trauma-linked symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the nature of the difficulty, and then recommend starting points. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is tracked and needs change.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter video check-ins allow for a quick weekday follow-up, and audio sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited. These practical choices help people keep consistent contact with a licensed professional while working on clear, structured goals.
