Who I Am and How I Work
Hello! I’m Whitney Wright Maricle, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been supporting adults through life’s ups and downs since 2012. I offer online therapy across California, helping people navigate anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, self-esteem challenges, burnout, grief, and major life changes.
I wear many hats - as a mother, wife, business owner, daughter, neighbor, and friend - which gives me a deep appreciation for the balancing act of life and the complexities we all face. My style is warm and authentic. I’m here to truly listen and work alongside you in a way that feels genuine and compassionate. I balance kindness with straightforward insight, blending mindfulness, cognitive behavioral tools, trauma-informed care, and reflective exploration to tailor therapy to your unique needs.
Helping others has always been part of my story and continues to inspire the work I do today. My mother was a social worker, and growing up in a home grounded in compassion and community taught me the value of showing up for others. Even though our sessions take place online, I strive to make our connection feel personal and real - like we’re sitting together in the same room, having an honest, heartfelt conversation.
Therapy with me is a space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we’ll uncover what’s getting in the way of your peace and help you build a life that feels more grounded, balanced, and fulfilling.
