About Shaa
Shaa Marcum is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in West Virginia with six years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, mood shifts, and substance use concerns. Sessions focus on real-life problems like work tension, relationship strain, grief, and changes in health or independence.
Shaa uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage strong emotions and rebuild routines. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and coping. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches guide how she explores relationship patterns and communication difficulties.
In sessions she aims for clear skill building alongside exploring emotions that keep repeating. That can mean learning strategies for grounding, checking unhelpful thoughts, or practicing different ways to set limits. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what someone can try between sessions.
She has experience supporting people with trauma, addictions, parenting strains, grief, and identity-related concerns including LGBT issues. Shaa also addresses challenges such as ADHD, chronic illness, codependency, and problems with trust or abandonment.
People who want practical tools for anger, improved communication, or steadier mood often find the work useful. Prospective clients in West Virginia should confirm current session options before booking. To begin, follow the site's steps to match and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-guided action rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling. It can help when anger gets in the way of important relationships or goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills for spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that fuel anger or anxiety. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) offers practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance techniques for intense moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shaa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean practicing skills between sessions, trying different coping techniques, or shifting focus when life circumstances change.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current choices before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Many people find that remote sessions let them try skills in real time and bring concrete situations from daily life into the conversation, which supports practical change.
