About Marsha

Marsha Carlton is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 13 years of experience to her practice in Georgia. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship and family concerns. Marsha aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people to talk through hard things and start making small, manageable changes.

She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns.

Background and approach

That perspective is often combined with cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and emotion-focused work to improve how people relate to others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and client-centered listening shape how goals and steps are chosen in sessions. Marsha works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin concerns.

She also supports people coping with trauma, domestic violence, substance use, divorce and separation, and the emotional fallout from disasters. Her approach is practical and tailored to each person’s situation. Sessions are offered in English and delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

She explains options and helps people pick what fits their life and needs. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to therapist availability.

Marsha emphasizes collaboration and steady support as people work toward clearer goals.

Online support

How attachment-informed and evidence-based approaches work online

Marsha combines Attachment-Based Therapy with cognitive behavioral ideas to help people understand patterns and change them. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and closeness problems, which can help with abandonment worries and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings and commit to values-based actions. ACT can be useful for dealing with grief, chronic stress, and addictive urges by shifting focus from fighting feelings to choosing meaningful steps. Marsha will talk with each person about these options and together they will choose approaches that match goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection, or when typing your thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or travel.
