Getting to know Marina Gethers
Hi there, I'm Marina!
I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) for Maryland and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-CP) for South Carolina. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Kansas, building a strong foundation for my clinical practice. My focus is primarily on adults, and I remain committed to empowering individuals and communities through education, counseling, and advocacy.
My approach
I use Client-Centered and Strengths-Based theoretical approaches, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness techniques, to support my clients effectively.
My focus
I typically work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, divorce, grief and loss, and financial stress. I also specialize in financial social work, exploring the deep connection between money behaviors and mental well-being, including impulsive spending and financial distress. Beyond my full-time roles, I have volunteered and worked part-time with organizations such as Girl Scouts Beyond Bars, the American Red Cross Mental Health team, Howard County Detention Center, and Safe Harbor Behavioral Health. These experiences have broadened my understanding of diverse community needs and reinforced my belief in the power of compassionate support.
My communication style
I allow clients to lead the session, encouraging them to freely express themselves. I do not judge their decisions; instead, we explore different approaches to complicated situations together.
My journey to mental healthcare
From a young age, I felt a calling to listen, support, and encourage others. This passion led me to become a residential counselor during college, helping fellow students adjust to campus life and living away from home. After earning my bachelor's degree in Sociology, I served five years in the United States Coast Guard.
