About Marcela
Marcela Tschang is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, workplace issues, and LGBT concerns. She focuses on practical support for relationship strain, motivation, and confidence. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, and she works to meet each person's needs without judgment.
Marcela tailors conversations and plans to what each person brings to a session. She uses straightforward talk and clear goals so people can see small changes over time. That can mean working on communication, understanding attachment patterns, or addressing body image and shame.
Her work also covers forgiveness, guilt, isolation, and questions about life purpose and sexuality. Marcela applies techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma-related material when appropriate.
Marcela draws on six years of professional experience to guide her choices in therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, along with reflection in the room. She emphasizes collaboration and helps clients set realistic goals they can act on.
People who meet with Marcela can expect a steady, supportive process that balances problem-solving with emotional work. She communicates in both English and Spanish and invites prospective clients to consider whether her style fits their needs before booking.
How CBT and EMDR can fit into online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, lift mood, or improve work performance.EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method used for processing distressing memories or trauma. It involves guided attention and memory work to reduce the intensity of painful recollections and related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the nature of the concerns to decide whether CBT, EMDR, or a mix makes sense. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep continuity during relocations or travel. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises or EMDR elements to an online setting, and Marcela will discuss practical details with each person to make sessions feasible for their routine.
