About Marsha
LCSW in California with 10 years of experience, Marsha Buckson helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports people coping with life changes and works with concerns around guilt, shame, panic attacks, and building self-love. Marsha frames clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
Her sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She listens for patterns that increase stress or self-criticism and works with clients to try different ways of responding. That may include practicing skills between sessions and checking what works in daily life.
Marsha emphasizes strengths and small, achievable changes. She asks concrete questions and sets clear, short-term goals alongside longer-term aims. This helps people notice progress and stay motivated when change feels slow.
Over her ten years, she has guided people through panic symptoms, shifts in relationships, and the kind of low mood that makes routine feel hard. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps sessions practical and paced to the client’s needs.
People who reach out can expect direct conversation about the problems they bring, with options to try coping strategies and track what helps. Marsha invites curious, committed effort and follows the client’s lead when deciding which steps to take next.

How evidence-based techniques can work in online sessions
Marsha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms like anxiety, panic, and low mood. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce panic symptoms and manage acute anxiety. This involves learning brief grounding and breathing practices and testing them during daily life to see what helps.Another frequently used approach targets negative self-talk and low self-esteem. It involves noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them with real-world experiments, and practicing kinder, more realistic self-statements. That work supports gradual increases in self-regard and confidence.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review current struggles, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they pick techniques to try and adjust the plan based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences.
