About Marquita
Marquita Wooley is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of experience based in Alabama. She lists stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, grief, self-esteem, and depression among her main areas of focus. She uses practical, structured methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
Wooley trained in counseling psychology and has a background that includes work in community mental health, hospitals, acute and residential care, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient care, and private practice. She has also worked with military communities and veterans as part of that experience.
Her approach emphasizes clear, person-centered conversations. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify thought and behavior patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when they fit the situation.
Sessions typically focus on short, concrete steps that people can try between meetings. That might mean tracking thoughts, testing a behavior change, or practicing emotion regulation skills. The aim is to make changes that feel manageable in day-to-day life.
Wooley notes experience with a wide range of concerns, including caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, postpartum depression, fertility concerns, first responder and veteran-related issues, multicultural matters, and relationship challenges such as commitment questions, infidelity, and communication problems. Language of service is English and international clients are not accepted.
She uses a subscription-based session model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online therapy options button.
How CBT and related methods are used in online sessions
Marquita commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain stress or low mood; CBT focuses on practical exercises and experiments to try between sessions. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values, and Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's own goals and experience.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands with the client and decide together which methods to prioritize. That process can change over time as needs and responses become clearer.
The practical benefit of online work is making sessions fit into ordinary schedules and responsibilities. Confirm the current session formats before booking since this profile does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can reduce travel time, make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, and allow people to practice new skills in the environments where they live. Therapists help adapt tools like thought tracking, behavioral experiments, and ACT exercises so they work during and between online meetings.
