Marsha Carlton, LCSW, CSW

Marsha Carlton is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia. She brings 13 years of experience to sessions and works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation.

She uses straightforward conversation to tailor a plan for each person. Sessions focus on practical steps and emotional processing. Marsha aims to be respectful, sensitive, and compassionate in every meeting.

Her background includes work with addiction, relationship and family concerns, and coping with major life changes. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, and forgiveness. These areas often show up alongside depression, guilt, or shame.

Marsha draws on several therapeutic approaches to match how someone prefers to work. She incorporates techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address patterns of thinking and feeling. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas guide how she builds trust and supports exploration of relationships.

People who reach out can expect a collaborative process that emphasizes clear goals and manageable steps. Marsha will listen, help identify priorities, and adapt the approach as needs change. The aim is to support people toward clearer choices and steadier coping over time.

Approaches that guide online work and relationship support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing new ways to respond; it often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on feelings in close relationships and helps people name emotions and change how they respond to one another.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they notice progress. That conversation helps decide which methods to use and how to adapt them over time in a collaborative way.

The therapist's biography did not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow meetings when someone prefers not to use video or needs a quieter setting. Licensed professionals can help match session length and frequency to what fits a person's routine and goals.
