Marcella Groover

Marcella Groover, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She offers a calm, listening presence so clients can name what feels hard and start finding practical steps forward. Sessions are aimed at small, steady changes that fit everyday life.

Marcella uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people focus on values and action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas shape how she builds trust and understanding in sessions.

Her work also covers a range of related concerns, including abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, cancer, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, commitment struggles, communication problems, control issues, and dissociation. She has experience with disruptive mood dysregulation and related mood challenges.

Marcella brings about 15 years of experience as a licensed professional counselor in Arkansas. She aims to adapt methods to each person's pace and needs rather than use one fixed plan. The approach is collaborative - clients help set goals and choose what to try next.

People who work with her can expect straightforward conversation, concrete coping tools, and attention to relationships that matter. She focuses on practical skills, clearer communication, and rebuilding strength over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Marcella commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that align with what matters to them, which can ease anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based work focuses on how early relationships shape present patterns and helps people build new ways of relating. Client-Centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space so clients can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and they will decide collaboratively which methods to try and when to adjust the plan.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular appointments, reduce travel time, or choose a session that fits a short break. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking to know what is offered for remote work.
