I firmly believe that one of the bravest steps a person can take is to begin understanding their own story. Have you ever felt overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, or the weight of past traumas? Perhaps you're navigating a significant life transition or embarking on a journey of self-discovery, especially within the LGBTQ community. These emotions can leave you feeling paralyzed, unsure of where to start, and stuck in a cycle of frustration and self-doubt. If any of this resonates with you, please know that you're not alone. I'm a seasoned licensed mental health counselor with over 15 years of experience, having held my license for a decade. My practice covers a wide spectrum of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, life transitions, and support for the LGBTQ population. My approach to therapy is deeply personal, tailored to recognize your unique strengths. I'm a strong advocate for a collaborative partnership between us, where you play an active role in your healing journey. In our sessions, I draw from effective techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy to help ease your symptoms. We'll also explore the roots of unresolved emotions and past negative experiences that might be impacting your current well-being. My core objective is to guide you in regaining control over your life by helping you reframe your thought processes. I'm here to support you on your path to healing and personal growth. Your story matters, and together, we can navigate the challenges you're facing.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. My goal is for you to leave feeling comfortable that we have started to formulate a positive rapport with one another as I feel this is the cornerstone of a great working relationship.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I bring a kindhearted, empathetic, and solution-focused approach to our therapeutic journey. My sensitivity and genuine nature enable me to create a safe and supportive space for you. I strongly believe in the power of humor and recognize the vital role of our therapeutic relationship. You can count on me to be consistently reliable, dependable, and flexible in our work together. Prior to our initial meeting, I value a consultation call to ensure that our partnership is a good fit for your needs and expectations. If you don't find your insurance listed, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at kmarconitherapeutics@gmail.com, and we can explore the options available to you.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My approach involves helping clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their mental health obstacles. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented form of psychotherapy. It is based on the concept that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. By changing negative thought patterns and behaviors, clients can improve their emotional state and overall well-being. In my practice, the initial phase involves a thorough assessment to understand the client's specific issues, history, and goals. I work collaboratively with the client to set clear, achievable goals. I also work to help clients identify their cognitive distortions, challenge their negative thoughts, and develop healthier though patterns. I assist with coping strategy development and provide empowerment with the goal being that self-efficacy and self-awareness increase.
On average, AvMed clients pay $0-$20
