About Marsha
Marsha (Marcie) Eriksen Hanna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 21 years of experience. She works with adults on common life stresses such as grief, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and career changes. She also helps people facing caregiver strain, aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life matters, and feelings of isolation.
Marcie uses approaches that focus on strengths, practical solutions, and changing patterns of thought and behavior. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Clients can expect conversations that identify what is working and what needs to change. Together they set small, achievable steps for daily life.
Her training includes a Master’s degree in Social Work from San Diego State University and an intergenerational specialist certificate from the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work. That background informs work with memory loss, caregiver stress, and aging-related concerns.
In sessions she draws on Strengths-Based, Solution-Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to help people manage mood, rebuild confidence, and handle transitions. The focus is on practical tools - coping techniques, problem-solving, and skill building - rather than abstract theories.
Marcie aims to be direct and respectful in her style. She listens actively and offers strategies people can try between sessions. To start, she asks clients to identify priorities so each session targets tangible progress.
BHow sessions work
How Marcie Uses Practical Approaches in Online Sessions
Marcie works from a strengths-based framework that helps people notice what already goes well and build on those skills. This approach highlights personal resources and past successes to tackle current problems, and it suits issues like low confidence, caregiver stress, and isolation.She also uses Solution-Focused methods that concentrate on small, achievable changes. Sessions identify clear next steps and assess what was useful after each meeting. Cognitive Behavioral techniques are part of the work too, focusing on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaching concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, or stress management.
Choosing the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. Marcie collaborates with clients to match methods to their goals and daily realities. She reviews what helps, adjusts the plan, and sets practical homework when it fits the person's life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals adapt pacing and tools to make sessions useful in everyday life without promising a specific outcome.
