Background and approach
She uses straightforward talk therapy to uncover patterns that contribute to negative feelings. Together clients set clear goals and work toward small, achievable changes that build confidence and relief. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from California State University, East Bay.
She has worked in mental health for eight years and draws on that experience when tailoring support to a client’s situation. Marlo’s license is CA LCSW 76409, which is listed here to confirm her credential. Therapy with Marlo combines client-centered listening and goal-focused strategies.
She balances attention to past patterns with steps that create change now. Sessions often include reflection on how habits affect feelings and practical skills to shift those habits. People who come to Marlo can expect a calm, steady presence and a plan that evolves with progress.
She invites clients to experiment with new ways of thinking and acting, and to notice small gains along the way.
Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps the client decide what feels most important to work on. This approach is useful for people who need steady support and clearer self-understanding.Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, practical steps toward clear goals. Sessions look for what is already working and build on those strengths to solve current problems. This method often helps with stress, coping with life changes, relationship issues, and career concerns.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Marlo will discuss options and collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time as needs change, combining deeper reflection with short-term strategies when that feels right.
Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is an issue or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible ways to communicate between sessions or for people who prefer typing to speaking.
