About Marsha
Marsha Tunstall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, and major life changes.
Marsha approaches therapy from a standpoint that the person knows their own story best. She uses straightforward conversations to identify strengths and practical steps forward. Sessions focus on building coping skills, addressing unhelpful thought patterns, and finding small changes that make daily life easier.
Her practice draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and respond to each person's concerns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons to change. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set concrete short-term goals and track progress.
Her work includes attention to caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, substance use and recovery, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose. She also addresses mood disorders and panic symptoms, and offers support for smoking and vaping cessation and women’s issues.
Marsha favors clear, practical steps rather than long theoretical talks. She helps people break overwhelming problems into manageable parts and sets goals people can try between sessions. The focus is on usable tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects concerns, validates strengths, and helps shape what to work on next based on the client's priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions typically identify unhelpful thinking patterns, try out different behaviors between meetings, and use short exercises to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints, and together they will choose methods that fit. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to focus on as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during life changes, while the therapist and client work on practical steps and measurable goals.
