Marci Holloway, LCSW

Marci Holloway is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience practicing in Texas. She focuses on stress and anxiety along with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood and anger regulation. Marci aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She works to support and empower clients taking steps toward change.

Her approach is practical and person-centered. She tailors conversations and plans to fit each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns, and trying small changes to see what helps.

Marci blends several methods depending on what is useful. She uses client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness and somatic techniques to help with stress and grounding. She also incorporates strategies from dialectical behavior therapy when mood and emotion regulation are primary concerns.

People often come for help with life transitions, career stress, low self-esteem, grief, compassion fatigue, or symptoms of depression and bipolar mood concerns. She also addresses specific situations like postpartum depression, infidelity, caregiving and hospice-related distress, and first responder stress.

Marci asks clients to be active partners in the work. She explains options, checks what feels helpful, and adjusts the plan as progress evolves. Her goal is to help people build skills they can use outside sessions and to create a clearer path toward a more manageable daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Marci uses client-centered methods that focus on what matters to the individual. This means she starts by listening, asking about priorities, and shaping sessions around the client's goals and pace. Client-centered work is useful for building trust and clarifying what to work on.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and stress. CBT is practical for managing panic, low mood, and overwhelming worry. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used when emotion regulation and strong reactions are a problem; these teach skills for tolerating distress and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Marci discusses options with each person and adjusts methods as needs and goals become clearer, keeping the client involved in decisions about care.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist schedule and formats can vary, so checking available session types helps you pick what fits your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions feel more manageable.
