About Marjorica

Marjorica Ducheine is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Pennsylvania with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career difficulties, depression, and parenting concerns. She also works with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, and relationship problems. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole.

Marjorica frames clients as experts in their own stories. She looks for practical strengths people already have and uses those strengths to address problems. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on what is getting in the way of daily life and family responsibilities. She encourages small, doable steps so progress feels manageable.

Her background includes several years working with people facing major life changes and emotional strain. That work has involved responses to loss, caregiving stress, blended family challenges, and struggles with motivation. She brings experience helping people who are navigating identity and relationship questions as well as mood conditions like bipolar and depression.

In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. She helps people try different ways of communicating and coping, and checks what actually helps between meetings. When needed, she will look at anger, codependency, attachment concerns, or past abandonment to understand how those issues affect current family life.

For someone juggling parenting, work, and relationship strain, her approach aims to make therapy practical. The first session typically clarifies immediate goals and what a useful next step would look like. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques involve learning new ways to think, act, and cope. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. That helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching practical ways to test and reframe thoughts.

Another approach emphasizes skill-building for coping and communication. This includes brief behavioral experiments, problem-solving steps, and practicing clearer ways to speak about needs. These techniques are useful for parenting strain, relationship frustrations, and managing anger.

Choosing which techniques to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust what is used based on what helps. The focus is on fit and usefulness rather than following a fixed recipe.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Discussing therapy online can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or let someone connect from another state when that is helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and real-time feedback to an online setting so progress continues between meetings.
