About Marika

Marika Courtney is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor with ten years of experience supporting adults through stressful and painful life moments. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more sure of themselves. Her work centers on listening carefully, naming patterns, and trying small changes that add up over time.

She helps people who are coping with anxiety, trauma or abuse, parenting strains, job stress, and big life changes.

Background and approach

She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiving burdens, addiction, and relationship communication problems. Sessions are aimed at making problems easier to manage day to day. Marika blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with acceptance and behavior-based methods to match each person's needs.

She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive and acceptance-based exercises are used when helpful to change unhelpful thoughts and to build new patterns. In sessions she focuses on practical skills and emotional understanding.

Conversations move between what someone feels and what they want to change. Homework is simple and tied to real situations the person faces between sessions. People who prefer a respectful, down-to-earth style tend to fit well with her approach.

She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful, helping people gain tools to handle stress, repair important connections, and find clearer direction in life.

Online support

Emotion-focused and action-oriented care online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name their feelings and the patterns that connect them to their relationships. It can be useful for anyone who wants clearer emotional understanding and better ways to respond in close connections.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values. It pairs acceptance skills with small committed actions to help people move toward what matters to them.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different methods, and adjust as needed so sessions feel useful and relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for more in-depth conversations, phone works well when bandwidth is low, live chat allows brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping treatment practical and goal-focused.
