Marcie Harrington

Marcie Harrington is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with seven years of professional therapy experience. She focuses on helping people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also pays attention to feelings of isolation and loneliness and practical stresses like money and financial issues.

Marcie views each person as the expert on their own life. She looks for strengths clients already have and uses those strengths to move forward. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and building confidence to manage hard moments.

Her work often includes talking through past hurts and their present effects. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and then practices new ways of coping. When grief is present, she balances room for feeling with small actions that support day-to-day living.

Marcie emphasizes collaboration. She supports clients as they set goals and try small changes between sessions. The pace and focus are adjusted to match what the person needs right now.

The overall aim is to help people feel more capable and more connected to what matters. If someone is dealing with isolation, loss, low self-worth, or stressful life transitions, she aims to offer steady support and clear steps forward.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Many clinicians use evidence-based techniques that focus on processing past hurts and building practical coping skills. One common approach helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns so mood and motivation improve; this approach teaches clear, repeatable skills to use between sessions. Another common method focuses on processing traumatic memories and their current effects by creating safety, naming reactions, and practicing manageable steps to reduce distress; this type of work can help people who feel stuck by past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. Goals, preferences, and progress guide adjustments over time so the plan fits the client's needs.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people keep therapy consistent during life changes, making it simpler to attend regularly and practice skills between appointments.
