About Marshall

Marshall Kirkpatrick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of clinical experience helping people navigate complex emotional and behavioral challenges.

Marshall has particular experience working with individuals who have experienced sexual abuse, who struggle with sexual or process addictions, or who are wrestling with questions about their sexuality. He works to create a space where difficult topics can be explored without judgment and where practical strategies are paired with deeper processing of past harms.

Marshall uses evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral tools, motivational interviewing techniques, and trauma-focused approaches to support change in thinking, behavior, and emotional regulation. Over the course of his career he has helped clients improve self-esteem, reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life, and repair or strengthen relationships. As an LPC licensed in Wisconsin (WI LPC 6170-125), he focuses on measurable progress while respecting each person and their goals. Marshall offers a warm, steady approach grounded in experience and clinical training to help people move toward clearer purpose and better functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and focuses on practical strategies that can be applied in daily life.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach designed to strengthen a person’s own motivation for change. It works well for problems like addictions, ambivalence about change, and when someone wants support in setting and following through on personal goals.

Trauma-Focused Therapy provides tools to process past traumatic experiences and reduce their ongoing impact on emotions, relationships, and behavior. It emphasizes safety, paced processing, and skills to manage intense symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marshall will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and may combine techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and some work can continue through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
