About Marquita
Marquita Wooley is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who draws on existential ideas in her work. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Her style is grounded and direct, aimed at helping clients find meaning and practical ways to manage daily challenges.
She holds a master's degree in counseling psychology and has 17 years of experience in behavioral health settings. That experience includes community mental health, hospitals, residential care, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs, and independent practice.
Background and approach
Her background means she is familiar with a range of care levels and the kinds of problems people bring at different stages of recovery. Her approach blends person-centered listening with evidence-informed methods such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy.
Sessions focus on clear goals, skills people can use between meetings, and gentle reflection about values and choices. Marquita aims to help people move at a pace that feels manageable. She also pays attention to cultural context and the ways identity can shape stress and coping.
Additional areas she addresses include caregiver strain, aging concerns, fertility and postpartum matters, first responder and veteran issues, and relationship challenges like jealousy or commitment questions. Marquita works with English-speaking clients online through several formats. She invites prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process and to schedule sessions that fit their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choice, and what matters most in life. It can be useful when someone feels stuck, faces loss, or wants clearer direction in values and priorities. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that reflect personal values; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck from avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathetic listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can name their concerns and decide what change looks like.Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Then the plan is adjusted over time to match needs, using skills, reflection, or values-based actions as appropriate.
Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when a stable internet connection or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill rehearsal, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These formats make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapeutic momentum.
