Marcela Tschang

Marcela Tschang is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and depression. Marcela also addresses concerns related to LGBT issues and questions about life purpose.

Her style is conversational and practical. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for lingering memories that continue to affect day-to-day life. Sessions focus on clear steps, small experiments, and skills people can try between meetings.

Marcela often helps people untangle communication problems and attachment issues that complicate relationships. She supports work-related stress and workplace challenges, and talks through body image, sexuality, and women’s issues in straightforward terms. She addresses feelings of guilt, shame, and isolation without jargon.

Spanish speakers can work with her in Spanish or English. Her approach blends practical CBT tools with trauma-focused methods when appropriate. She explains options and helps people choose what to try first.

To begin, Marcela asks people to describe their current struggles and what matters most to them now. She uses that information to shape a plan and set simple goals. The focus is on what can change in everyday life, step by step.

CBT and EMDR approaches for remote sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, then try small behavioral changes to test new ways of coping. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and work-related stress, with concrete exercises and short experiments between sessions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and the reactions they produce. When appropriate, it can reduce the intensity of those memories so they interfere less with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marcela discusses options and helps decide together which methods to try first based on your needs and goals. She uses a collaborative process to adjust techniques as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time on workdays. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises for remote meetings, and EMDR protocols can be adjusted for online delivery when appropriate. Ask about what will work best for your situation before scheduling.
