Marcela Tschang

Marcela Tschang is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, and LGBT matters. She offers straightforward support and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. Marcela treats each person with sensitivity and respect while focusing on practical progress.

Her approach is collaborative and tailored to the individual. Sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the client, then setting clear goals together. She uses methods that address thought patterns, emotional responses, and life habits so clients can practice new ways of coping outside session time.

Marcela draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build different responses. She also incorporates elements of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when past events are affecting current wellbeing. The therapist works at a steady pace that fits each person’s readiness for change.

Over six years of practice, Marcela has focused on concerns such as body image, attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and workplace stress. She supports people dealing with isolation, questions about sexuality, forgiveness, and finding life purpose. Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish to meet bilingual needs.

Marcela explains options clearly and helps clients choose strategies they can use in daily life. She values honest conversation, practical tools, and steady encouragement while clients build toward a more balanced life.

How her approaches shape online care

Marcela uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often focuses on small, practical experiments and new habits that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, when past events are impacting current feelings. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories so they interfere less with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marcela collaborates with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts the pace and combines techniques as required so clients feel able to try new strategies.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care if relocating within the same region. Ask about the specific session options available when you schedule.
