About Marcie
Marcie Stover Jividen is a Pennsylvania-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 23 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting challenges, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and LGBT-related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in Pennsylvania.
Marcie uses several therapeutic approaches to help people talk through difficult feelings and situations. Her work includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She also has experience with interactive and expressive therapy methods that invite different ways of processing experience.
In sessions she focuses on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can try between meetings. That can mean noticing patterns of thought and behavior, learning new ways to respond to intense emotions, or practicing skills for managing anxiety and anger. For people who have experienced trauma, she uses approaches that address distress linked to past events.
Marcie has worked with children, youth, and adults over her career, and she brings that breadth of experience to conversations about parenting, attachment, adoption and foster care concerns, and family problems. She also addresses issues such as postpartum depression, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, panic, and mood disorders.
Her practice style centers on respectful, direct conversation and a clear plan for moving forward. To begin, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and problems that come from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful routines; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood symptoms.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the client's needs. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress and challenges become clearer.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use strategies learned in sessions in their everyday environment and bring real-life examples into conversation. Licensed professionals can usually adapt ACT and CBT skills well to remote work, and trauma-focused methods can be discussed in advance to plan pacing and supports.
