Marsha Tunstall, LPC

Marsha Tunstall is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with adults who are trying to manage relationship strain, sleeping problems, anger, or life transitions. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, focused on each person's strengths and goals.

With 25 years of experience, Marsha leans on practical methods that people can use between sessions. She listens first and follows the pace a person prefers. Sessions often focus on building motivation, spotting small changes that make a difference, and practicing skills that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She uses client-centered work to keep the conversation grounded in what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing supports movement through ambivalence, especially around addictions and lifestyle changes.

Marsha also draws on solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable steps toward immediate goals. That blend aims to make therapy useful from the start while keeping long-term recovery and growth in view. She emphasizes respect for each person’s story and practical, steady progress.

How her approaches shape online work

Marsha combines client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people in clear, practical ways. Client-centered Therapy means she focuses the conversation on what matters most to the person and follows their pace to build trust and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and create small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people feel stuck about change, such as with drug or alcohol use or quitting smoking. That approach helps a person weigh their own reasons for change and find internal motivation rather than being pushed into decisions. She will discuss together which approaches feel right and adjust the plan as goals shift.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone attend from a location that reduces disruptions or make it simpler to balance caregiving, work, and appointments. The therapist will work with each person to make sessions practical and relevant to everyday life.
