Marketta Rowe, LPC

Marketta Rowe, LPC, uses an approach that centers the client's experience and values. She begins work by listening to what matters most and then helps people take small, practical steps toward clearer goals. Her style is direct but warm, focused on strengths and what can change now.

She draws on acceptance and commitment principles to help people notice difficult thoughts without being driven by them. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to map unhelpful thinking and replace it with workable alternatives. Emotion-focused ideas add attention to feelings and how they shape relationships and behavior.

Rowe has 14 years of experience working with issues that affect relationships and family life. She supports people dealing with parenting stress, blended family challenges, and problems with communication or commitment. She also helps with self-esteem, coping with life changes, anxiety, stress, and depression.

Her practice addresses a range of more specific concerns, including abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, control issues, dissociation, and caregiver stress. She has worked with clients navigating serious medical concerns such as cancer and the emotional strain that brings.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill-building, and real-world homework to try between meetings. The focus is on finding practical ways to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps when worry or strong emotions get in the way of what you want to do. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and needs. That choice may shift over time as priorities and challenges change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, then bring those experiences back to therapy to refine what helps.
