Marquita Wooley, LPC

Marquita Wooley is an LPC who draws on a person-centered approach to help people manage stress and anxiety. She frames sessions around what matters most to each client, listening first and then shaping a plan with practical steps. Her calm, direct style aims to make tough conversations easier to start.

Marquita earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology with minors in religion and abnormal psychology, and a master’s degree in counseling psychology. She holds License Professional Counselor credentials in Alabama and Texas. She also has experience as a certified clinical hypnotherapist and has worked across different care settings over many years.

Her background includes work in community mental health, hospitals, acute and residential programs, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient care. That range means she is familiar with different levels of support. Marquita has spent a long time working with people from varied cultural backgrounds and life stages.

In sessions she mixes methods to fit each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotion-focused work, and dialectical behavior approaches alongside client-centered listening. The focus is on building skills for everyday stress, mood concerns, grief, and self-esteem challenges.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Clients set goals, and she helps identify small steps and coping tools. The aim is steady progress at a pace that feels right for each person.

How Marquita’s approaches fit online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small, value-driven actions even when thoughts feel overwhelming. It’s useful for chronic stress, anxiety, and when someone wants clearer life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it often includes simple exercises and homework to use between sessions.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options, and together you will try methods that seem to fit. If one approach doesn’t feel right, adjustments are made so the work aligns with your needs.

Session format details are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It also supports different ways of working - shorter check-ins, focused skill practice, or regular hour sessions - depending on what helps you progress. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to this setting to build coping skills and manage everyday stress without promising a specific outcome.
