I have over 25 years’ experience and training in psychiatric rehabilitation sciences and approach therapy from a recovery model. I believe that with the right skills and supports people can do anything. I use a strengths-based approach; rather than focusing on diagnosis I focus on what the individual brings to therapy, what obstacles are present and the individual’s strengths. I work hard to facilitate a trusting relationship and create a non-judgmental space for my clients to grow and thrive. I utilize CBT, Relapse Prevention and Motivational Enhancement Therapy. I believe people are the expert in their recovery, and it is my job to help bring that expertise to the forefront of treatment.
I have over 25 years of clinical work experience with adolescents, young adults, and adults of diverse backgrounds. My extensive experience working with adolescents, inspires me to work with youth who may be struggling in ways that their caretakers find overwhelming. Additionally, I have helped parents/caretakers to better manage family life and improve their relationships with their children during difficult times. Each person deserves support so that they can navigate home life and the outside world successfully. My only request is to have hope!
About Marc Maccini, LMHC
Helping you find your voice and find your way.
If you feel "stuck"—whether in your career, your relationships, or your own skin—you aren't alone. Often, the path forward isn't about working harder, but about finding the right tools to navigate life with more confidence and clarity. I specialize in helping individuals break through those plateaus, develop firm assertiveness skills, and reclaim their sense of direction.
Background: I earned my Master of Education (M.Ed) from the University of Massachusetts and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). My background in both education and the arts allows me to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and real-world relatability.
I am a licensed mental health counselor with 6 years experience in outpatient therapy, school based therapy, and emergency mental health services. I have a vast background in human services dating back to 2004 supporting folks with developmental disabilities, acquired brain injuries, adult foster care, and homeless populations.
I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with experience supporting young and middle-aged adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relational conflict, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are navigating career stress, relationship challenges, identity shifts, or feeling overwhelmed by competing responsibilities. My background in social work shapes the way I view mental health within the context of family systems, culture, and life experiences. I strive to create a space that feels supportive, grounded and respectful of your unique story.
As a social worker, I want my clients to know that I approach our work together with empathy, respect, and without judgment. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, valued, and supported. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to work collaboratively with you to build on your strengths and help you reach your goals. I have a particular focus in working with Neurodiverse people and college age. I am here to listen, support, and advocate alongside you as we navigate challenges together.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lawrence
Searching for therapists in Lawrence starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare Lawrence therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. Bios can show whether a therapist uses methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other approaches that fit your goals.
In a smaller city like Lawrence, the right local match may depend on more than office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Massachusetts while still letting you see a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist works, what they specialize in, and what a first session may look like.
Therapy in Lawrence can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you choose between virtual and in-person appointments when available. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
