Marsha Litton-Baker , LPC

Marsha Litton-Baker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem. Marsha also supports clients facing parenting struggles, anger, motivation, and major life transitions.

She approaches sessions with the assumption that each person knows their story best. Marsha listens first and helps people identify their strengths and next steps. She encourages small, practical changes that fit into daily life rather than grand promises of instant fixes.

In session she uses conversations to uncover patterns in relationships and behavior. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past connections shape current reactions.

Mindfulness practices are offered to help manage strong emotions and increase present-moment awareness. Emotionally-focused methods are used when relationship patterns or intense feelings are central to a concern. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort.

Marsha’s background includes long-term work with stress, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, ADHD, and caregiver strain. She brings a calm, steady approach and aims to help people build confidence and clearer goals. This style suits people who want practical tools and someone who will listen without judgment.

Approaches and online options for emotional healing

Marsha blends attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral strategies to address emotional and relationship concerns. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early connections influence current feelings and relationship patterns, which can help when abandonment, attachment issues, or caregiver stress are part of the problem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Marsha works collaboratively to figure out what fits each person's needs, goals, and preferences. She may try different methods and adjust the plan as someone notices what helps most during sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions are useful when visual cues matter and a longer conversation is needed. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow for shorter check-ins, written reflection, and support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, family, or caregiving schedules while using approaches like CBT, attachment work, and mindfulness in ongoing online care.
