Marco Nozicka, LCSW

Marco Nozicka is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life changes. He also supports those dealing with work concerns, parenting questions, intimacy issues, and questions about life purpose. Marco combines practical, goal-oriented work with a calm, reflective style.

With 40 years of practice, Marco draws on a mix of talk-based and experiential tools. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different actions. He also uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person's values and priorities.

Marco brings coaching experience and an interest in workplace issues and career transition. He often helps people clarify goals, improve communication, and address commitment or control problems that get in the way of daily life. He also works with intimacy concerns, infidelity, and fatherhood issues when they arise.

Mindfulness and hypnotherapy are part of his approach when appropriate. Those tools are used for habit change, reducing anxiety, and building practical routines like weight loss or smoking cessation. Meditation practices feature in his work, informed by decades of teaching and practice.

Marco trained at the Jane Addams School of Social Work at the University of Illinois Chicago and has worked across diverse cultural settings, including the Caribbean region. He holds LCSW credentials in Illinois and Florida and speaks English. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort to set realistic steps toward meaningful change.

How Marco’s Methods Fit Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters most, which can help with anxiety, life transitions, and relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple skills to change unhelpful patterns. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication and managing conflict, useful for couples and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marco works collaboratively to test methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. Together they’ll try strategies, see what feels useful, and adjust the plan over time rather than committing to one method from the start.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a week - shorter check-ins can be scheduled during lunch breaks, and sessions remove travel time. It also allows consistent continuity when life or work makes in-person visits hard. Many people find this helps them practice skills between meetings and stay focused on day-to-day changes.
