About Marco
Marco Nozicka is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four decades of experience supporting adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, career changes, and parenting concerns. He offers a steady presence and practical steps to help people move forward. His style is straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on what can change now.
Marco blends talk therapy with brief coaching methods to help clients set realistic goals and try new behaviors between sessions.
Background and approach
He uses mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to manage stress and anxious thinking. Cognitive approaches help people notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns that get in the way of daily life. He also uses hypnotherapy when clients want to address habits and behavioral change, such as smoking reduction or changing eating patterns.
Marco draws on experience from working across diverse cultures and many years in executive roles to support career-related concerns and workplace stress. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Clients can expect clear action steps, skill-building, and room to reflect on values and relationships.
The focus is on usable tools rather than long lectures. Outside the office he is a long-distance cyclist, musician, and longtime mindfulness practitioner. Those interests inform a mind-body approach that combines movement, attention training, and creative problem solving.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Marco often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions by focusing on committed steps rather than just symptom reduction.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and gives space to explore goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build concrete skills for managing worry, social anxiety, and workplace stress.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Marco will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and adapt methods to fit their needs. Together they decide what to try first and adjust the plan based on what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or between-session support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when travel or work gets in the way.
