Marcela Tschang

Marcela Tschang is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with six years of experience supporting people who feel isolated, anxious, or overwhelmed. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and LGBTQ concerns. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to make conversations feel safe and straightforward.

She focuses on practical steps that people can try between sessions. Marcela listens for what matters most to each person and adapts the conversation to match that. She also helps with relationship and communication problems, workplace strain, body image, and questions about sexuality and women's issues.

Marcela often uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. She also draws on EMDR when past events keep affecting a person's daily life. Together she and the client choose methods that fit the person's needs and pace.

Sessions address attachment concerns, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and finding purpose or more self-love. Marcela aims to build small, realistic steps toward feeling more connected and confident. She encourages clients to try practical experiments and new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Conversations can be in English or Spanish. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged based on the therapist's availability.

How CBT and EMDR Fit into Online Work

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. It is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood, and problems with self-esteem or workplace strain.

EMDR, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, helps when past events continue to affect daily life. It uses guided attention and processing to reduce the hold of distressing memories and their emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that seem likely to help. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in when energy is low. It can also let someone choose a shorter or phone-based check-in when bandwidth or visual focus is limited. Ask about the session arrangements during the intake so logistics match daily life and goals.
