About Marika
Marika Courtney is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with ten years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, career questions, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses blended family issues and a wide range of related concerns.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Marika listens for what matters most and helps people name the problem. She uses short, clear strategies alongside conversational work to help with everyday challenges like parenting tension, workplace stress, and relationship communication.
Her background includes methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. Those approaches guide work on thought patterns, values-based action, and manageable behavior change. Attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas inform how she looks at relational patterns and closeness.
In a session she often helps people spot unhelpful habits, try small experiments, and practice new ways of responding. She explains techniques in plain language and checks in about what feels useful. The goal is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.
Marika asks new clients to describe their current situation and priorities in a first meeting. From there she and the client decide which methods to use and which steps to take next. She works with adults in Ohio and conducts sessions in English.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and taking small actions that matter. It helps people who feel stuck by clarifying what they want and building simple, practical steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches tools to change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns show up now and can help people improve trusted connections and communication. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marika will discuss options with each person and tailor the blend of methods to fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made. Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific online or in-person options. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule sessions around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone work with a licensed professional from their own city in Ohio while fitting sessions into everyday life.Areas of expertise
