About Marika
Marika Courtney is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, career concerns, and major life changes. Marika speaks English and practices in Ohio.
Her sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas. Conversations center on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses to them.
Marika helps people build coping skills for everyday strain. That can include managing workplace stress, handling relationship communication problems, and finding a steadier routine after loss or separation. She also addresses issues such as substance concerns, codependency, caregiver stress, and aging-related worries.
In a session she pays attention to what causes distress and what keeps it going. Clients can expect goal-focused talks, short exercises, and homework to try between meetings. The work aims to change small patterns that make problems worse.
Her background combines client-centered and emotionally-focused methods with CBT and ACT tools. That mix is used to help people notice patterns, practice alternatives, and develop clearer personal goals. To begin, readers are asked to confirm current session options before booking and follow the practice's intake steps.
How chosen approaches translate to online work
Marika uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice automatic thoughts and test different ways of responding. CBT focuses on brief exercises, behavior experiments, and clear steps to change habits that increase stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and practice small actions that align with those values while learning new ways to accept difficult feelings.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions. That approach is useful when communication problems, commitment concerns, or abandonment-related worries are part of the issue. Together these methods help identify patterns and pick practical changes to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marika will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday constraints and then suggest which methods to emphasize. This is a collaborative process where approaches may be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking since the original biography does not list specific online formats. Ask about available session types and scheduling options when you begin the intake steps. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks or home routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so consistent care is simpler to maintain.
