About Marcie

Marcie Stover Jividen, LCSW, focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting strain, mood difficulties, and identity concerns. She writes and talks plainly and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable for someone feeling overwhelmed. Marcie works in Pennsylvania and brings 23 years of clinical experience to each conversation.

She uses a mix of approaches that are matched to the person in front of her. EMDR is one of the tools she includes to help people process intense feelings tied to past trauma.

Background and approach

She also draws from cognitive and behavioral methods to address anxious thoughts and patterns. Sessions emphasize practical skills and steady, compassionate listening. Marcie adapts her style to fit what a person needs - sometimes focusing on emotion regulation skills, sometimes on changing unhelpful thought patterns, or on making room for personal values and goals.

Her work with parenting concerns looks at the stress and practical challenges parents face, and she helps people develop clearer coping steps. When mood disorders, ADHD, or compulsive behaviors are involved, she blends talk and structured strategies to reduce distress and increase daily functioning. People who prefer different ways of connecting can use video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Marcie aims to be practical, respectful, and steady while helping someone build toward more stable days.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy starts by prioritizing the person’s perspective and experience, offering steady listening and empathy while the client names goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises to try between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used here as a way to help people process intense reactions tied to past events and reduce the strong feelings those memories can trigger.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through the options, try strategies together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist choose methods that match current needs, goals, and personal preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are useful. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick updates, brief coaching, and ongoing reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent work on stress, anxiety, trauma processing, and parenting challenges into busy lives.
