About Marci

Marci Zago is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of clinical experience in Indiana. She works with adults who feel stuck by anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, low self-esteem, or major life transitions. People often come because they want clearer thinking and steadier coping, not dramatic fixes overnight.

Marci offers straightforward, practical conversations aimed at understanding what feels off and what matters most to the client. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, building useful daily skills, and trying small changes that add up. She describes the work as collaborative and goal-focused, and she helps people shape steps they can use between meetings.

She commonly supports people dealing with relationship strain, trauma or abuse, depression, workplace stress, and questions around life purpose and midlife changes. She also addresses issues related to adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, eating and food-related issues, family of origin difficulties, first responder concerns, and women’s issues.

Marci prefers clear, steady pacing in sessions so clients can test tools and notice progress. She helps clients build coping strategies for daily stress and practices that support better self-esteem and emotional regulation. The focus is on what the client wants to change and practical steps toward that aim.

How evidence-based methods fit into online therapy

Marci refers to evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on anxiety, stress, and self-esteem. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches concrete coping tools for managing daily stress and anxiety. These techniques help people notice triggers, practice breathing or grounding, and use short behavioral steps to reduce overwhelm.

Another frequent focus is trauma-informed care, which pays attention to past harm and how it affects current reactions. This approach aims to help people rebuild routines, tolerate difficult feelings, and reduce symptoms linked to post-traumatic stress. Both approaches lend themselves to clear practices a client can try between sessions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Marci collaborates with clients to choose approaches that match their goals, day-to-day reality, and what feels doable. She regularly checks in and adjusts the plan so techniques stay relevant and practical.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or evenings. It can also allow brief check-ins when bandwidth needs to be lower or video is not ideal. Licensed professionals can help adapt tools so they work within each client's schedule and environment.
