Marquita Wooley, LPC

Marquita Wooley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama. She brings 17 years of experience to sessions and focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and issues affecting LGBTQ clients. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can take steps toward change at their own pace.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses Client-Centered Therapy as a foundation and adds methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These approaches are mixed to match what an individual needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Marquita has worked across community mental health, hospitals, and private practice settings. That range includes experience with acute and residential care, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient work. She also has experience with military populations, veterans, and their families, and with clients from varied cultural backgrounds.

She pays attention to practical problems that come up in everyday life, including caregiver stress and aging and geriatric issues. In sessions she helps people build skills for mood management, improve communication, and cope with major life transitions or loss.

To begin, a client completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules based on the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

The therapist draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and values, then take small steps toward what matters. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on actions that match a person’s goals.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and supporting the individual without judgment. This approach helps people feel heard and work through difficulties at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors that reduce symptoms like low mood or worry.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time to fit the client's needs.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, as this profile does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it may reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, or make scheduling around work or caregiving duties simpler. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively via remote sessions when that option is available.
