About Marcella
Marcella Krance is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience. She focuses on grief, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and life transitions. She also supports people facing issues tied to adoption and foster care, cancer, fertility, and caregiver stress.
Marcella centers her work on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered methods to listen and respond to each person’s needs. She treats people with respect and looks for their strengths when making a plan together.
Background and approach
In sessions she keeps things straightforward. She helps people talk through loss, medical crises, and the stress that comes with parenting. She also offers support around family problems and issues connected to domestic violence and first responder stress.
Her background includes more than two decades working in medical settings with children and families, and ongoing work with people affected by cancer. That experience shapes how she handles practical worries and emotional fallout from health challenges. Marcella aims to make the work feel positive and manageable.
She helps people identify small steps that move them forward. The first meeting is used to understand goals and decide what approach will fit best.
Client-centered care delivered online
Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. The therapist reflects concerns, helps clarify goals, and builds on the client’s own strengths. This approach is useful for grief, parenting stress, depression, and adjusting to medical or life changes.Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt the approach as those needs become clearer. This is a collaborative process where the client helps guide the focus of the work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people choose what fits their routines. Video is helpful for deeper conversations that benefit from face-to-face contact. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, ongoing support between sessions, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, medical appointments, or family life.
