About Maricia

Maricia Thompson is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 15 years of experience in New York. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and LGBT matters. Maricia speaks English and uses practical, down-to-earth language so parents and individuals can understand the steps ahead.

She prefers an individualized approach. Maricia listens first, then helps people name what feels hard and why.

Background and approach

From there she and the person pick skills and strategies that fit their life, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions move at a pace the client can manage. Her work draws from several established approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative ideas, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic thinking, and solution-focused methods.

That lets her combine short-term tools with deeper conversations about patterns and meaning. The mix is meant to address immediate symptoms and longer-standing issues. Maricia has experience supporting parents who are caring for children on the autism spectrum and works directly with individuals across a range of challenges.

She also helps people facing prejudice, communication breakdowns, infidelity, and issues related to self-love and women’s health concerns. Practical problem-solving and clearer communication are frequent focuses. Clients will find a warm, straightforward style.

Maricia emphasizes empowerment and helps people practice new ways of coping between sessions. She invites anyone who wants to change their current patterns to take the next step and explore therapy.

Online support

How Maricia’s approaches translate to online care

Maricia uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives clear steps to practice between sessions.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. That method is collaborative and can help with goals like improving relationships, building self-esteem, or making lifestyle adjustments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maricia will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences, then shape sessions around what feels most useful. She makes treatment a collaborative process so methods can shift as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video is good for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions are useful for brief check-ins, focused skill practice, or when someone needs flexibility during a busy day.
