About Shaa
Shaa Marcum is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in West Virginia. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, or major life changes. Her approach is calm and direct, aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable for each person she meets.
Shaa draws on several approaches to match what a person needs. She uses systemic thinking to look at relationships and patterns that shape behavior.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to help people notice what matters and build stronger connections with themselves and others. Sessions balance problem-solving with emotional work. Shaa teaches practical skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when people need tools to manage thoughts and mood.
She also makes room for deeper conversation about past hurt, attachment wounds, and how early relationships influence current behavior. Her style is collaborative and centered on clear goals. People can expect to set practical steps, learn coping strategies, and check progress in regular sessions.
The work often covers issues such as parenting stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, trauma responses, ADHD, and career or self-esteem struggles. With six years of clinical experience, Shaa aims to help people build routines and habits that last. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so care can fit into busy days.
Conversations are straightforward and focused on what will make daily life easier.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Systemic therapy looks at patterns between people and how those patterns affect behavior. Online sessions can help identify repeating cycles in relationships and create new interaction plans that fit real life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while accepting uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles and works well in short online exercises and in-between-session practices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day routine. That may mean blending systemic ideas with ACT or adding cognitive-behavioral tools to teach skills for mood and thought management.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a brief check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter updates, practicing skills between sessions, or keeping momentum when schedules are tight. These formats make it easier to keep regular contact and apply what is learned to everyday situations.
