Marshawna Hoyte , LPCC

Marshawna Hoyte is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 11 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and depression.

She works with people facing life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting strain. Women’s issues and young adult concerns are listed among her focus areas, and she also addresses anger, compassion fatigue, and seasonal mood changes. Her plainspoken approach aims to make conversations feel manageable even when concerns are heavy.

In sessions she adapts the conversation and plan to fit each person. That can mean shorter check-ins, focused problem-solving, or a paced plan for difficult memories. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - often called EMDR - is among the methods she uses when it fits a person's needs.

Her style emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She pays attention to what a person wants to get out of therapy and adjusts the pace accordingly. This makes it easier to take small steps and track progress over time.

Marshawna offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step helps connect people to the right appointment time and format.

How EMDR and online care work together

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method that helps when painful memories or traumatic experiences keep causing distress. It uses guided attention strategies to help reduce the intensity of those memories and the symptoms they cause, and can be useful for trauma, grief, and abuse-related concerns.

Sessions delivered remotely follow the same goals as in-person work: identify what matters most, try approaches that fit the need, and pace the work so it feels manageable. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide if EMDR techniques are appropriate and when to use them, adjusting methods based on comfort and response.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for conversational work and EMDR-like guided tasks. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, planning between sessions, and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, school, or family life while staying connected with a licensed professional.
