About Maurshia

Maurshia Guice is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, LGBTQ-related concerns, relationships, and family conflicts. Her approach is direct and practical, with attention to emotions and patterns that show up in close relationships.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside other approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. In sessions she listens for recurring interaction patterns and the feelings underneath them. That helps identify where a new, different response could reduce arguments or emotional distance.

Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps. Conversations include naming difficult emotions, noticing how people react, and practicing new ways to respond. She also works on practical skills like communication and coping strategies when worry or low mood get in the way of daily life.

Maurshia pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, body image, and problems that come up in blended families. She also addresses issues like fatherhood, forgiveness, and past domestic violence in a way that looks at how those experiences affect present relationships.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. People who want help understanding emotional patterns, improving difficult conversations, or reducing persistent anxiety may find her approach useful.

Approach and online session options

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps name the feelings that drive difficult interaction patterns. EFT looks at how emotions shape responses between people and aims to create new patterns of connection and safety in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and taking small actions that align with those values while allowing uncomfortable thoughts and feelings to be present. Attachment-Based Therapy examines early relationship patterns and how they shape current behavior and expectations in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That means trying different techniques, noticing what helps, and adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it helpful to keep appointments that would otherwise be hard to attend because of work or family commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and communication practice to remote sessions, helping people translate new interaction habits into everyday life.
