Marci Zago

Marci Zago is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience. She practices in Indiana and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Marci also addresses life purpose questions and challenges that arise during midlife changes and major transitions.

She often meets people who look fine on the outside but feel burned out, unsure, or disconnected inside. In sessions she focuses on practical ways to reduce daily stress and build steadier confidence. Conversations aim to clarify what matters and to develop everyday tools for coping.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions look at thought patterns, behavior, and routines that keep problems going. Marci helps clients notice patterns tied to family of origin, communication problems, workplace strain, and caregiver stress so they can try different responses.

She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, divorce or separation, domestic violence aftereffects, eating and food-related issues, and first responder stress. Work on post-traumatic stress and recovery from abuse is presented in clear, paced steps that respect each person’s limits.

If someone wants to explore life purpose or feels empty after big changes, she helps them sort values and practical next steps. To begin a working relationship clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Marci uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and on building practical coping skills. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thinking patterns and teach ways to reframe or test those thoughts; this can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, and daily stress. Behavioral techniques emphasize small, concrete changes in routines and actions to reduce burnout and improve mood, such as scheduling pleasant activities or adjusting sleep and work habits.

Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the work. She treats the choice of approach as collaborative, using the client’s goals, preferences, and responses to guide adjustments. Clients and therapist check in together about what feels useful and what to try next.

The original profile did not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It may also let someone attend from a quieter spot without needing to be on camera for every visit. Licensed professionals adapt pacing and tools to the realities of a client’s day-to-day life.
