Krista Marquick, LMHC

Krista Marquick is a Florida-licensed therapist with 12 years of professional experience supporting people facing mental health and addiction challenges. She earned a Master of Science degree in Counseling and Psychology from Troy University in 2013 and received her Florida license in 2015. As an LMHC - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she draws on clinical training and practical experience to help clients address depression, anxiety, and the stress of life transitions.

Her work includes treatment for addictions and help with managing emotions in daily life, as well as support for motivation, self-esteem, and confidence concerns. Whether difficulties are new or have persisted for some time, she applies a blend of solution-focused strategies, person-centered principles, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to shift perspectives and improve overall outlook. These methods are used to identify practical steps, build coping skills, and strengthen emotional awareness.

Krista prioritizes creating an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. She approaches therapy with a supportive and empowering stance, helping clients take the first steps toward a more fulfilling and resilient life.

Evidence-Based Approaches in an Online Setting

Krista integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques into her online work to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. She also uses solution-focused therapy, which concentrates on practical goals and immediate steps clients can take to address specific problems and build momentum toward change. When appropriate, she applies person-centered principles to create a collaborative and empathetic space where the client’s experiences guide the pace and focus of therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Krista works together with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to support meaningful progress in a way that feels comfortable and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or work, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals without the need for travel.
