About Marquita
LMFT (California) with 10 years' experience helping individuals address relationship and personal concerns. Marquita Dempsey focuses on practical steps people can use to manage depression, trauma, grief, and relationship strain. She emphasizes straightforward conversation and collaborative planning in early sessions.
Marquita describes her work as centered on listening and responding to what a person brings. She uses client-centered methods to focus on each person's goals and experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when thoughts and behaviors are getting in the way of everyday life. Solution-focused techniques help identify small, concrete changes that produce quick relief.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Marquita aims to help people name their priorities, practice specific coping skills, and track progress between meetings. She addresses sleep, anger, parenting concerns, intimacy-related problems, and issues linked to ADHD or career transitions.
Her background includes a decade of professional practice in California as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. That experience includes supporting people after trauma and abuse, navigating infidelity, and working through grief. She also brings coaching skills to help with motivation and confidence.
Clients can expect clear tasks and tools to try between sessions along with time to talk through feelings and events. Marquita asks about what is working and what needs adjusting as part of ongoing care. To begin, a short questionnaire and an initial scheduling step are required through the site's process.

How her approaches fit into remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to what a person reports and tailoring conversation to their priorities. In practice this means the therapist asks open questions, mirrors concerns, and helps the client set personal goals that matter to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT may include reviewing thought records, trying short behavior experiments between meetings, and practicing coping skills for depression, anxiety, or sleep problems.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes. Sessions identify one or two steps a person can take right away and check progress in following meetings, which can help with motivation, confidence, and practical problems like relationship strain or parenting challenges.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. It can also let people try skill practice in real-life settings and then review what happened in the next meeting.
