About Marquia
Marquia Rivers is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with six years of clinical experience. She helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses related issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, substance use troubles, and communication problems.
In sessions she focuses on direct, practical conversation. She listens for the immediate problems that interfere with daily life and offers strategies to manage them. That can mean working on coping skills for anxiety, practicing ways to speak up in relationships, or breaking down overwhelming tasks into small steps.
Marquia adapts the work to what each person brings. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions, and she and the client decide together which approaches to try. The plan may change over time as progress and priorities shift.
She places attention on patterns that repeat across relationships, including attachment and control issues. Marquia also supports people dealing with blended family stress, separation and divorce, and the emotional aftermath of trauma or disaster.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in New York. She draws on six years of practice to help people build clearer communication, steadier mood management, and more confidence when facing stressful situations.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Marquia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships affect feelings. One common approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that increase anxiety and low mood, and then practice alternative ways of responding. Another approach looks at relationship and attachment patterns to understand recurring conflicts and to build clearer communication and boundaries.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made or circumstances change. Clients and therapist review what is working and try different techniques when needed.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. When arranging remote work, note practical benefits such as fitting sessions into a busy day, avoiding travel time, or choosing shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can help you figure out a rhythm that fits your life while focusing on the problems you brought to therapy.
