About Marshawna
Marshawna Hoyte is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation. She also addresses life transitions and parenting strain. Sessions focus on straightforward conversation and practical steps people can use between meetings.
Hoyte invites clients to talk through what feels stuck and what matters next. She adapts her conversational style and treatment plan to the person in front of her. That often means setting short-term goals, testing small changes, and tracking how those changes land in daily life.
Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also helps people facing abandonment wounds, family problems, fatherhood issues, isolation or loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Seasonal Affective Disorder, mood concerns, and women's issues are within her focus areas.
Marshawna uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as one clinical approach when trauma or distress from past events affects present functioning. EMDR is paired with conversational therapy to address current stress and practical coping skills.
Her way of working is direct and collaborative. She encourages clients to try small experiments between sessions and to report back what changed. To begin, people complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the therapist's booking flow.
How EMDR and practical therapy work in online sessions
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method that helps people reduce distress linked to past events by using guided attention and focused recall. It can be useful when memories or past hurts continue to affect current mood and behavior.Alongside EMDR, sessions often use straightforward talk therapy to identify stress triggers, build coping skills, and set small experiments to try between meetings. This approach supports work on anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, and questions about life purpose.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Together you can adjust the approach over time based on what helps most.
Confirm current session formats before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals use these formats to make participation more manageable while focusing on the therapeutic work.
