About Maurshia

Maurshia Guice is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with six years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, LGBT matters, and addictions. She also addresses blended family issues and related family problems. Sessions are aimed at practical steps to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve daily functioning.

Maurshia uses straightforward conversation to identify what is causing strain. She draws on methods from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small committed actions.

Attachment-based perspectives are used when patterns from family of origin or past relationships affect current connections. That work looks at how past hurts shape expectations and behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are added when regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness are needed.

In sessions she focuses on communication problems, codependency, control issues, and rebuilding trust after conflict. For blended household concerns she helps people navigate loyalty tensions, co-parenting boundaries, and merging routines. The approach is practical and goal-focused, with short-term strategies and longer-term behavior changes.

Clients can expect clear, step-by-step suggestions and check-ins on progress. She encourages small experiments between sessions to see what works in everyday life. Maurshia asks clients to set concrete goals and tracks changes together over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Maurshia draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and short experiments that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety and shift routines.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. ACT is useful when clients feel stuck by worry or avoidance and want concrete ways to act differently.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferred pace. That decision is reviewed as progress is made so techniques can change over time.

Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people try new communication strategies and behavioral experiments without rearranging their whole schedule.
