About Marcus

Marcus Mccray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He draws on three years of community work delivering trauma-informed and group therapy. Marcus centers sessions on people’s existing strengths and practical steps they can take in daily life.

He focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes including midlife transitions. Marcus also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, communication struggles, and problems that follow separation or divorce.

In sessions he helps people notice and undo harmful thought patterns. Clients can expect straightforward feedback and encouragement to try new behaviors between meetings. Goals are set together and kept realistic so progress is measurable.

Marcus uses plain language and accessible exercises rather than technical terms. He often brings enjoyable, strength-based interventions into the work, and he includes group formats when they fit the client’s needs and goals.

How evidence-based methods guide online work

Marcus describes his work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on existing strengths and practical change. One common approach emphasizes identifying and changing negative thought patterns so people can feel less stuck and make different choices; this helps with anxiety, low self-esteem, and coping with life transitions. Another approach uses trauma-informed principles to acknowledge how past events affect current reactions and to build safer, more manageable ways of responding to triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel in practice, and adjusting the plan as needed so work stays relevant and useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also let people use different kinds of exercises and homework between meetings to support progress in everyday settings.
