Marsha Tunstall, LPC

Marsha Tunstall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. Marsha also supports those struggling with self-esteem, sleep problems, anger, and major life changes.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She treats people as the expert on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than long theory discussions.

Marsha uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. She blends that with client-centered care, which means listening closely and adapting to the person in front of her. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used when someone needs help finding motivation or quick ways to move forward.

People come to her for help with parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, smoking or vaping cessation, and substance use concerns. She also works with mood disorders, panic attacks, and issues tied to life purpose or forgiveness.

Every plan is made together. Marsha emphasizes small, achievable steps and practical coping tools. Her approach is aimed at usable strategies people can try between sessions.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Marsha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, panic, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her approach, which means she focuses on listening, empathy, and adapting to each persons pace and priorities.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss options and tailor methods to match a person's goals, preferences, and needs. Clients and therapist review what works and adjust plans as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comforts. Video is helpful for deeper conversational work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat gives a shorter check-in format, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, caregiving, or health challenges.
