About Marika
Marika Courtney is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor who has spent a decade helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes. She works with individuals who are juggling parenting demands, career shifts, or the aftermath of difficult experiences. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
She begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and skills people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Marika draws on approaches like Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build understanding and new habits. Marika also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people handle strong emotions and improve their close relationships. She helps clients name patterns such as avoidance, codependency, or control issues, and then tries out different ways of responding.
Work often includes simple exercises, behavioral experiments, and straightforward talk about what feels stuck. People seeking help for parenting strain, separation, addiction concerns, caregiver stress, or life-stage changes will find a practical orientation. The emphasis is on making real-life improvements - in communication, coping, and everyday routines.
Marika aims to create a steady, respectful space for people to try new ways of coping. She offers services in English and practices across a broad range of concerns, including attachment issues, abandonment, blended family stress, aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related stress, and recovery from trauma. Marika approaches each case with calm attention and a focus on what will help next.

Online support
Attachment and evidence-based approaches online
Marika uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. This work focuses on how people connect, respond to emotion, and build trust in relationships. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters and take small committed steps toward those values, even when strong feelings arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she draws on to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that change daily routines and reduce anxiety.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Marika will talk with a person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit real life. Video sessions let people work through emotions face-to-face, phone calls can be easier when video isn't possible, live chat is useful for mid-day check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or reminders. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people keep momentum between longer sessions.
