Marcia Bryant-Cornelison, LPC

Marcia Bryant-Cornelison is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing parenting stress, ADHD challenges, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She also supports those coping with anger, low self-esteem, LGBT concerns, and issues common to young adults. Her work often focuses on practical goals and clearer day-to-day coping.

Her style is warm, non-judgmental, and engaging. She listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable steps. Sessions emphasize skills people can use between meetings to manage stress and improve relationships.

Marcia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy as core approaches. She combines them with tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. The methods are adapted to each person’s situation rather than applied the same way to everyone.

Over eleven years in practice, she has worked with adults dealing with family problems and the transitions of young adulthood. That experience informs a practical, goal-oriented approach rather than long-term analysis. The focus is on change that matters to daily life.

People can expect straightforward sessions that balance talk, skill-building, and planning. Marcia guides conversations toward concrete solutions and helps track progress. The aim is better routines, clearer communication, and more manageable feelings.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Marcia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. CBT focuses on practical skill-building and problem solving, which can ease anxiety, depressive symptoms, and ADHD-related routines.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when strong emotions get in the way of daily functioning. DBT tools teach pacing, breathing, and techniques to handle intense moments without reacting in ways people later regret.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then tailor methods that fit their life. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or needs shift.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation, while phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief prompts, coaching, and ongoing support between sessions. These options provide flexibility for different schedules and ways of communicating.
