About Marci

Marci Zago is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Indiana. She draws on 14 years of clinical experience to help adults who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted. Many people come because their outer life looks fine but they feel disconnected or unsure about what they want next.

Her work focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. Sessions aim to be collaborative and nonjudgmental. She helps people learn coping skills, calm anxiety, and rebuild self-confidence so daily life feels more manageable.

Marci often sees people facing burnout, major life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. She also addresses trauma, relationship strain, depression, and stress tied to work or caregiving. Eating and food-related issues are included among her additional focus areas.

In sessions she centers clients' goals and tailors strategies to each person. Conversations move between understanding what's driving current struggles and trying concrete tools to shift how someone feels and acts. The tone is compassionate and practical rather than purely academic.

If someone is thinking about starting therapy, she asks them to consider what they'd like to change and brings a steady, problem-solving approach. Prospective clients are invited to begin the short matching questionnaire to see if scheduling with her feels like a good next step.

Approaches that help reduce stress and build coping skills

The therapist uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in plain terms. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills - practical exercises to calm anxiety, manage stress, and improve daily routines. These tools help people feel steadier during busy or overwhelming times.

Another common direction is work on self-esteem and life transitions. This involves identifying unhelpful beliefs, testing new ways of behaving, and practicing communication skills so decisions feel clearer and more aligned with goals. It can help when someone feels stuck or uncertain about the next step.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then adjust techniques as needed. Clients help shape the plan so work in sessions fits their priorities and moves at a comfortable pace.

Details about online session formats were not provided in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt homework and skills practice to work between sessions so progress continues outside the appointment.
