About Marcie

Marcie Stover Jividen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. She works with adults and younger clients on problems like stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, parenting concerns, and ADHD. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage strong emotions and improve daily functioning.

She uses a mix of approaches to fit different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are brought in for emotional regulation and reducing snap reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values.

The biography notes experience with trauma work and EMDR as a method for handling intense feelings tied to past events. Marcie also has worked with issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, and mood disorders. That background can be useful when anger links to past hurt or ongoing family stress.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. Conversations and treatment plans are adjusted to each person’s situation. She uses interactive and expressive therapy methods as part of her work when those approaches fit the client’s goals.

If you are worried about snapping at people you love, feeling resentment at work, or reacting to someone else’s anger at home, she offers ways to learn different responses. To begin, people follow the site’s steps to see online therapy options and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Marcie uses evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small actions that match their values. It can be useful when anger gets in the way of important relationships or goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and reactive anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and then suggest a blend of methods that make sense. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new needs appear.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, fit appointments around work, or meet without travel. They also allow practice of skills in real-life settings and carryover between sessions. Ask about formats and frequency when you complete the matching questionnaire so the plan fits your daily life.
