About Marcela
Marcela Tschang is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with six years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, LGBT issues, and self-esteem challenges. Marcela speaks English and Spanish and uses practical approaches to help people manage day-to-day difficulties.
She focuses on clear, direct conversation about what is causing distress and what needs to change. Sessions emphasize skills you can use between meetings, such as thinking patterns that affect mood and small behavioral steps to reduce overwhelm. Marcela draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits.
For people who carry traumatic memories or intense emotional reactions, she incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a method aimed at reducing the emotional charge of disturbing memories. She also addresses attachment issues, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
Marcela pays attention to practical life concerns, including workplace stress, sexuality, women’s issues, and questions about life purpose. She works with clients to set short-term goals and practice incremental changes that fit everyday life. The approach is collaborative: she listens, offers feedback, and suggests exercises you can try between sessions.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session are used to start the process. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How CBT and EMDR are used in remote sessions
Marcela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and low mood. CBT in practice means setting small goals, practicing new ways of thinking, and using short exercises between sessions to test what works. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is offered for people with disturbing memories or strong emotional reactions; it focuses on reducing the intensity of those memories so they create less distress in daily life.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Marcela will discuss how CBT or EMDR might fit your situation, listen to your goals, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. You and she decide together which methods to try and when to review progress.
