Her approach is grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, with an emphasis on tailoring conversation and treatment plans to each person’s unique circumstances.

She is committed to standing alongside clients through the process of change and growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Marcia Holloway integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships that stem from early connections and can support work on intimacy, trust, and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marcia works collaboratively with clients to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and effective for each person.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for those with busy schedules, limited mobility, or who live far from in-person services. These options make it easier to attend regularly, maintain continuity of care, and fit therapy into daily life while working with registered professionals and therapists who tailor the experience to each client.
