Marquita Wooley, LPC

Marquita Wooley brings 17 years of clinical experience to her counseling practice and combines academic training with a broad range of clinical settings. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with minors in Religion and Abnormal Psychology and completed a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), licensed in Alabama (AL LPC LPC05302) and Texas (TX LPC 66550).

Her background includes work in community mental health centers and hospitals across multiple levels of care, including acute and residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs, and private practice. She has experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, adults, families, and college students from diverse cultural backgrounds, and she regularly works with active duty military, their dependents, veterans, and members of the civilian community.

Marquita approaches therapy from a person-centered foundation while drawing on evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, conflict resolution, and humanistic methods to tailor treatment to each client. She focuses on concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-esteem, relationship and communication problems, parenting, anger, sleep challenges, and a range of life transitions. She aims to foster change at each client’s preferred pace by offering a respectful, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space to explore thoughts and goals, and she works collaboratively to create practical, individualized plans for growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build practical skills to move toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own process of discovery and change - this approach is especially helpful for building self-esteem and improving communication in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering structured tools to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to manage stress more effectively.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Marquita works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts techniques over time so that the chosen methods fit the person rather than forcing a single model on every case.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility by making it possible to meet by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow therapy to fit into busy schedules, support continuity of care during life changes, and make regular contact more convenient for people balancing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities.
