Marcie Stover Jividen, LCSW

Marcie Stover Jividen is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. She works with children, youth, and adults and aims to create a respectful, sensitive space for people to talk through hard experiences and everyday struggles.

She uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts, client-centered conversation to follow what matters most to the person, and EMDR for managing intense feelings tied to past trauma. She also draws on skills from acceptance and commitment and dialectical behavior approaches when they match a person's goals.

Marcie emphasizes practical strategies and clear steps. Sessions often focus on building coping skills, improving daily habits, and reducing symptoms that interfere with family life and parenting. She also addresses issues like ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, obsessive features, panic, and postpartum mood struggles when relevant.

Her background spans 23 years in clinical work across age groups. She has experience with interactive and expressive methods that make therapy feel more active and engaged rather than only talk-based. That experience informs how she adapts treatment plans for each person.

People who choose Marcie can expect collaborative planning and steady support. She works to empower clients to make changes that fit their day-to-day life and long-term goals.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Marcie uses several approaches that can translate into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to change mood and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening closely and following what the person brings, helping people feel understood while they set their own goals. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is aimed at reducing intense reactions to past traumatic memories through an ordered, step-by-step process.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend approaches that fit. That recommendation is collaborative and can change as progress is made or as needs shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep appointments around work or childcare. Because the specific session formats are not listed here, confirm current online options before booking to know whether video, phone, or other arrangements are possible. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help people work on thoughts, everyday habits, trauma processing, and coping skills without requiring extra time away from daily routines.
