About Marshall
Marshall Kirkpatrick is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Wisconsin. He has 23 years of experience helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction-related struggles. He speaks English and offers sessions using video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Marshall uses straightforward, practical work in sessions. He listens first and helps people pin down what feels most pressing. He then uses techniques that aim to change unhelpful patterns and build healthier responses to strong emotions.
Background and approach
His background includes long experience with trauma and mood-related concerns. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift thought and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck and wants to find the internal reasons to change.
Marshall also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of past harm and help people reduce symptoms that keep recurring. He breaks big problems into smaller steps and helps people practice new skills between sessions. Sessions are offered in multiple online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs.
He explains options and helps clients decide how to proceed. The practical aim is clearer choices, fewer overwhelming reactions, and better day-to-day coping.

How Marshall Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Marshall commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize patterns of thought and behavior that feed anger, anxiety, and depression. CBT focuses on practical steps and exercises people can try between sessions to change reactions and feel more in control.He also uses Motivational Interviewing when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change. This approach centers on the person's own reasons for change and builds motivation in small, realistic steps. It can be useful for addictions, relationship concerns, and when big changes feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process shapes which methods are emphasized as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into a workday, maintain momentum between meetings, and use tools that match personal preferences.
