About Maurshia

Maurshia Guice is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with six years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family conflict, and issues related to LGBT identity. Her profile notes additional focus areas such as attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family challenges, and fatherhood issues.

Maurshia keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to what matters most and helps people set concrete goals for change. Conversations often include techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral work and skills for managing intense emotions.

Her approach also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live in line with their values. Attachment-based thinking is used when family of origin and relational patterns come up. Client-centered principles guide the pacing and tone of sessions so the person’s priorities shape the plan.

Maurshia has worked with people facing substance-related concerns and those recovering from domestic violence or disruptive mood patterns. She also addresses body image, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and feelings of emptiness. These topics are integrated into practical strategies during sessions.

She practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. The typical next step is a short intake and a first session where goals and a working plan are outlined. People who want to explore family or relationship concerns will find a direct, goal-focused style that connects skills training with discussion about patterns and choices.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used online

Maurshia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and move toward actions that reflect their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and decisions about relationships.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy when family patterns and early relationships shape current behavior. This approach focuses on understanding how past bonds influence present reactions and communication in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maurshia will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and then choose techniques that fit. That might mean practicing behavioral skills one week and discussing family patterns the next. The plan is adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a place that suits their schedule. Licensed professionals adapt pacing and exercises so skills practice fits into everyday routines.
