About Marsha
Marsha Rimler is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience practicing in New York. She focuses on helping people who are facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Marsha emphasizes each person's strengths and respects that clients know their own stories best.
She uses a calm, down-to-earth style to make starting therapy feel manageable. Over two decades she has worked with a range of concerns including trauma, grief, intimacy struggles, and stress from caregiving.
Background and approach
She brings attention to attachment issues and how early relationships shape current patterns. Sessions are straightforward and practical, aimed at reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning. Marsha blends client-centered listening with skills-based techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
That means she listens first, then helps people try tools for managing mood, sleep, worry, and anger. She also helps people sort out career choices, workplace stress, and questions about life purpose. Many people seek her support for parenting worries, family-of-origin concerns, and issues around intimacy or infidelity.
She also addresses challenges related to aging, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue. Her approach makes space for difficult emotions while focusing on realistic steps forward. Marsha aims to make the therapy process collaborative.
She encourages small experiments between sessions and checks in about what is helping. The goal is steady progress you can feel in daily life.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Marsha integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional needs. This approach helps people understand intimacy issues, trust, and patterns that repeat in relationships.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which prioritizes empathetic listening and meeting each person where they are. That creates space to talk through feelings and make sense of what matters most in a nonjudgmental way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marsha will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they may try different strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth or fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or when written expression helps. These options provide flexibility so people can fit therapy into busy lives and try approaches that match their routines and preferences.
