About Marco
Marco Nozicka is an LCSW with 40 years of clinical experience based in Illinois. He works with adults on concerns such as self-esteem, anxiety, stress, relationships, grief, intimacy issues, and parenting. Marco also supports people facing career transitions and life changes.
He blends practical therapy with coaching tools and hypnotherapy when appropriate. Sessions often include goal-setting, skills practice, and brief solution-focused work. Marco uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, and hypnotherapy as ways to help people make changes.
Marco trained at the Jane Addams School of Social Work at the University of Illinois Chicago and has worked across diverse communities, including the Caribbean region and multiple parts of the United States. He brings a background that includes post-graduate study in family therapy and experience as an international executive and coach. His credential LCSW appears as IL LCSW and FL LCSW in professional records.
In sessions he often pairs mindfulness and meditation practices with cognitive and behavioral techniques. That might look like learning a short mindfulness skill, then practicing a thought or behavior experiment between meetings. He also uses hypnotherapy for habit change and anxiety reduction when it fits a client's goals.
Outside clinical work he is a long-distance cyclist and performing musician. Those interests inform a mind-body approach to therapy and coaching. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How Marco uses therapy methods online
Marco commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take action in those directions, which can help with life transitions, stress, and relationship choices. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments, which often helps with anxiety, mood, and workplace challenges.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles that prioritize listening and building understanding, which supports conversations about intimacy, parenting concerns, and codependency. Together these approaches let a therapist and client try different techniques and see which fit best for the person's goals.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Marco will work with the client to pick methods that suit their needs and preferences, and he may combine mindfulness, coaching, or hypnotherapy when appropriate. That decision is based on goals, comfort, and what the client wants to change.
