Krista Marquick , LMHC

Krista Marquick is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 12 years of clinical experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and low self-esteem. She also supports people coping with life changes and those working through mood-related concerns and questions about life purpose. Krista is attentive and straightforward in sessions, aiming to help clients feel heard and understood.

She uses a mix of practical approaches to help people make small changes that add up. Sessions focus on setting realistic goals, trying actionable steps between meetings, and adjusting plans when needed. She often draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and on person-centered listening to let clients guide the conversation.

Krista also uses solution-focused methods to build on what already works for a person. This can speed progress when someone wants concrete coping strategies for anxiety or mood shifts. She helps people explore their values and sense of purpose when motivation and direction feel unclear.

In the therapy room Krista aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where feelings can be named and practical strategies can be tested. She works collaboratively to tailor steps to each person’s situation and pace. Many people find this combination helpful when dealing with control issues, communication problems, or the emotional effects of life transitions.

Krista holds a Master of Science degree in Counseling and Psychology and received her Florida LMHC license in 2015. Her practice emphasizes steady progress and building skills clients can use outside sessions.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Krista commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice and change patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety and low mood. This approach breaks problems into small parts and builds practical tools to test between sessions.

She also applies person-centered listening which focuses on giving a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to speak and be heard. That approach helps people clarify values and feel supported while they make decisions. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify quick, achievable steps toward immediate goals, useful when someone wants concrete changes fast.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust plans based on what the client finds most helpful. That collaborative process helps match techniques to real needs rather than sticking to one format.

Online therapy with video, phone, live chat, or text messaging offers flexibility for different routines. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or other commitments while keeping care consistent.
