About Marcella
Marcella Strickland-Ramsay is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and big life changes. She meets people where they are and centers each person’s experience in a straightforward, respectful way. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with the client guiding the pace and focus of the work.
Marcella uses a person-centered approach that highlights empathy and genuine connection. She draws on social work values and trauma-informed principles to honor cultural and spiritual identities. This means she listens for the whole story - personal history, relationships, and social context - rather than treating symptoms in isolation.
Her background includes work in community settings, juvenile justice, and academic spaces. Over ten years she has supported people through depression, anxiety, identity questions, and transitions like divorce or separation. Those experiences inform how she designs practical steps for coping and change.
In session, Marcella helps people name what is getting in the way of feeling better and then tries small, realistic changes that fit everyday life. She also addresses guilt, shame, forgiveness, and building self-love as part of recovery and growth. Conversations are straightforward and paced to the client’s needs.
People who prefer a respectful, down-to-earth style may find her approach helpful. To begin, a short intake and scheduling step starts the process, and she works with each person to set goals and track progress over time.
