About Marcus
Marcus Litterst is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 22 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, and grief. He also helps people who are questioning life purpose and those dealing with communication problems.
Marcus frames the client as the expert in their own story. He looks for strengths a person can use to move through what feels stuck. In sessions he focuses on motivation, building confidence, and practical steps toward clearer priorities.
His way of working is straightforward and conversational. He listens for what matters to the client and uses goal-focused methods to test what helps. He aims to break larger problems into manageable pieces so clients can try small changes between meetings.
Marcus draws on a mix of client-centered work and cognitive behavioral tools. He also uses solution-focused and motivational interviewing techniques to support decision making and momentum. Trauma-focused approaches are available when past events are affecting present functioning.
People commonly bring questions about work direction, meaning after a major life change, or how to manage persistent low mood and stress. Marcus encourages clear, practical steps and ongoing review of progress. To begin, he asks for a short intake that helps match goals and plan the first session.
How Marcus integrates approaches in online sessions
Marcus commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered work means listening closely to what the person values and letting their priorities shape the conversation. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce mood and anxiety symptoms.He also uses motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change and to build momentum toward goals. That method is collaborative and looks for the client’s own motivation rather than pushing advice. Together these approaches help identify practical next steps and ways to measure progress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marcus will talk through options and help decide which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences. He checks in on what is helping and adapts the plan as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Marcus uses goal-oriented tools and homework to help clients use the time between sessions effectively.
