About Marsha
Marsha Litton-Baker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for common struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. Marsha centers sessions on the client's own story and strengths, offering steady support as people take steps toward change.
Her work often includes managing anger, boosting self-esteem, and finding motivation. She also addresses relationship strain, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Marsha listens for what matters most to each person and helps set small, realistic goals. Marsha draws on several therapeutic methods to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about patterns in relationships and safety within connections. She uses client-centered and emotionally focused tools to create a warm, open space for exploring feelings. Mindfulness practices are added when people want ways to calm the body and focus attention.
These tools are mixed to fit each person's goals rather than used as a rigid protocol. Parents looking for guidance will find straightforward strategies for everyday challenges and for longer-term patterns. Marsha helps people clarify values, improve communication, and build routines that reduce stress.
Her approach is collaborative, respectful, and aimed at what works in a person's life.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Marsha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that worsen stress and anxiety and then practice different responses. CBT is often helpful for shifting behaviors and improving mood through stepwise exercises and simple experiments.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how past and present relationships shape reactions today. This helps when people want to understand recurring relationship patterns or feel safer in connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marsha collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video is useful for fuller conversation and nonverbal cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing family and work commitments.
