About Marci
Marci Holloway is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas with 28 years of experience. She focuses on guiding people through stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and trauma. Marci aims to meet each person where they are and build a practical path forward.
She keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. Conversations are shaped to the person's needs, whether the focus is on relationships, coping with life changes, or work and career strain.
Background and approach
Marci pays attention to strong emotions like anger and to mood patterns such as bipolar disorder and depression. Marci uses techniques drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, and mindfulness. She also incorporates somatic ideas when helpful to address how emotions show up in the body.
These tools are adapted to what the individual prefers and responds to. She has additional experience with issues that include compassion fatigue, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the stress that follows disasters. Marci also supports people dealing with infidelity, jealousy, and non-monogamous relationship challenges.
Her approach is practical and empathetic rather than one-size-fits-all. Marci does not write disability or workplace letters, produce return-to-work recommendations, or make court appearances. She encourages people to take small steps toward clearer goals and offers steady support as they work toward a more balanced life.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for relationship questions, life transitions, and building self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking patterns and reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. This style is often chosen for panic, depression, and stress management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. It can help when anger, mood swings, or intense emotions get in the way of daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what helps and what doesn't.
Online sessions offer flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction, phone can be a simpler alternative with lower bandwidth needs, and chat or text can provide brief check-ins or coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain ongoing support.
