About Marcie

Marcie Stover Jividen greets people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. She is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for parents and individuals alike.

Marcie uses practical talking and coping strategies to reduce stress and anxiety. She helps people address traumatic memories and intense feelings. Sessions often blend guided conversation with activities that encourage new ways of responding to problems.

Background and approach

Her background includes long experience with trauma and abuse, mood disorders, and parenting concerns. She also supports people navigating gender dysphoria, adoption and foster care issues, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. That experience shapes how she plans therapy and sets goals with each person.

Marcie draws from a mix of methods including cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment work, dialectical skills, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. She adapts her style to match how someone prefers to work, whether that means more skills practice or deeper processing of past events. Conversations with Marcie focus on respect and sensitivity.

She builds a plan around each person's needs and moves at a pace they find comfortable. The aim is practical change - small steps that add up to more ease in daily life.

Online support

Approaches you can use online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and ongoing mood struggles by shifting attention to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and mood disorders. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method that guides people to process intense memories and reduce the emotional intensity attached to them; it is commonly used for trauma and post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and how they prefer to work. Together they decide whether to focus on skills practice, value-driven action, or deeper memory processing and can adjust that plan over time.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make regular care easier to fit into life. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options aim to increase flexibility so therapy can continue around work, school, and family demands.
