About Maricia
Maricia Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 15 years of practice. She brings steady, practical support to people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with self-esteem. She also works with clients around relationship and intimacy concerns and helps people manage anger when it gets in the way of daily life.
Her background includes experience with autism and Asperger syndrome and with helping caregivers adjust when a loved one receives a diagnosis.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. That mix is shaped by each person's goals, culture, and life situation. In session she focuses on helping people name thoughts and feelings, and find clearer ways to respond to them.
That can mean working on thinking patterns, shifting habits, or telling and reworking personal stories that get in the way of change. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what each person can handle. She also brings practical strategies for communication problems, infidelity, issues related to prejudice and discrimination, and women's concerns.
Her work emphasizes strengthening self-love and confidence through step-by-step changes rather than sudden shifts. Maricia aims to create an environment where people feel heard and empowered to take small, steady steps. She recognizes starting therapy can be hard and focuses on realistic progress over time.

How Maricia’s Approaches Work Online
Maricia commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy when working with clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger. Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and reframe those stories to support healthier choices and self-image.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they shape a plan that can include brief practical exercises, new ways of talking about problems, and steps to practice between sessions.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - video for face-to-face conversation, phone for lower bandwidth or no camera, chat or text for short check-ins and ongoing support. The variety lets people try what feels most comfortable and change formats as needs shift.
