Getting to know Markita Couch

I'm Markita Couch, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who supports adults navigating life's challenges, from stress, anxiety, and trauma to self-worth, relationships, and major life transitions. My background spans school, residential, and community counseling settings, and I bring that range of experience into a practice focused on helping clients build a stronger sense of self and make choices that truly align with who they are. I offer virtual sessions, so we can do this work together wherever you're most comfortable.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in trauma-informed care. I help clients build practical coping skills while also exploring the deeper patterns that shape their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I draw from CBT, strengths-based practices, and solution-focused techniques to create a plan that fits each person’s needs. I believe in meeting clients where they are, honoring their lived experiences, and creating a space where they feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our first session, you can expect a calm, open, and judgement free conversation where we get to know each other. I’ll ask questions about what brought you to therapy, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you hope to change or understand. We’ll talk through your goals together and figure out what support might be the best fit. My focus is on helping you feel comfortable, heard, and confident about the next steps in your therapeutic journey.
