About Marcie
Marcie Stover Jividen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, depression, LGBT issues, family matters, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Sessions address practical problems and emotional reactions in everyday life.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered methods. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) techniques when they fit the situation.
Her approach focuses on clear goals and concrete steps. Conversations look at patterns of thinking, behaviors that keep problems going, and small experiments to try between meetings. She includes interactive and expressive methods when they help a person express strong feelings or practice new skills.
Marcie has worked with children, youth, and adults across a range of settings during her career. She emphasizes respect and sensitivity in sessions and adjusts how she talks and plans work based on what each person needs. Clients are encouraged to bring real-life examples to make sessions practical.
To get started clients use a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Marcie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress. ACT helps people notice values and take committed steps even when emotions are difficult. Client-Centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person can clarify their own goals.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods if something does not fit. The choice of techniques depends on the person’s needs and what works in practice, not on a fixed set of rules.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to check in during a break, avoid commuting, or use shorter phone check-ins when that suits the client. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered exercises for remote meetings so that skill practice and behavioral experiments continue between sessions.
