Marci Holloway, LCSW

Marci Holloway is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience in Texas. She focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or mood challenges. Her style is straightforward and respectful, and she aims to meet clients where they are. She works to create a plan that fits each person’s real life and goals.

Marci uses conversational, goal-oriented sessions to address relationship strain, trauma, and anger. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions include clear steps and homework when that would help progress.

She also offers skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to manage intense emotions and reduce reactivity. Somatic approaches are used when bodily awareness can help process stress or trauma. The focus is on practical tools clients can use between sessions.

Marci supports people dealing with career stress, self-esteem concerns, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She also has experience with grief, hospice and end-of-life counseling, postpartum depression, and issues related to infidelity and jealousy. Her approach balances listening with actionable strategies.

People who choose her often want a steady, experienced clinician who combines empathy with clear techniques. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and collaboration while helping people take steps toward a more manageable life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Marci draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change patterns of thinking that lead to distress. CBT sessions focus on clear problems, practical exercises, and small experiments to try between meetings. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening closely and shaping the work around what the person needs most; this helps people feel heard while deciding on goals together.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. These are concrete skills that can be practiced in daily life and reviewed together during online sessions. Marci will collaborate with each person to find which mix of approaches and skills fits their needs and preferences as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between live sessions. This range makes it easier to fit therapy into workdays, caregiving schedules, or times when a shorter touchpoint is helpful.
