Marcie Stover Jividen, LCSW

Marcie Stover Jividen is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. She supports people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and parenting challenges. Her tone in sessions is respectful and compassionate, and she adapts conversation and care to each person's needs.

She uses a range of therapeutic approaches and practical activities to help people manage strong emotions and painful memories. EMDR, described in the biography as a technique she uses, is one of the tools noted for working with intense reactions to past trauma. Marcie also draws on acceptance-based and cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice what matters to them and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Her work includes interactive and expressive methods to make sessions more practical and engaging. That can mean structured skills practice, guided reflection, or hands-on exercises aimed at improving daily coping. The focus is on small, manageable steps that fit into ordinary life.

Marcie has worked with children, youth, and adults during her career, and she will tailor the plan to the person in front of her. She emphasizes collaboration and clear goals so people know what they are working toward. Asking for help is a first step, and she aims to support and empower people as they move forward.

People considering therapy with Marcie should confirm current session options and scheduling before booking. Sessions are conducted in English and provided under her Pennsylvania LCSW credential.

Approaches for online care and trauma-related work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants clearer direction and practical habits.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often includes concrete skill-building and homework that can help with panic, obsessions, mood issues, and impulsivity.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is described in her background as a technique used to reduce intense emotional reactions to past events. It is typically applied when people have distressing memories that interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marcie will discuss goals and preferences and collaborate to choose methods that fit the person's needs. That process often begins with an initial conversation to identify priorities and try out practical strategies.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow people to use short check-ins or longer sessions depending on their needs. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so appointments match your schedule and preferences.
