More about Marla

20 years' experience
Female
LPC

I am a counselor with 20 years of experience, both paid and pro bono. I have experience with all age groups, individual and group counseling. I have worked to help those with many different issues including, but not limited to, relationship issues and conflict resolution, decision making, boundary setting, ADHD, OCD, depression, anxiety, loneliness, lack of purpose and finding purpose, addiction issues, family conflict, couples counseling, and parenting issues.

My primary manner of counseling is that of providing a very safe and warm place for you to process and find solutions to your problems. I will never tell you what to do, but will ask questions to help you to think about your goals and how to practically reach them. Please come ready to work! I require a counseling relationship based on truth and mutual respect. I view you as made by God and extremely important. You will find that your reward in this process is based on how much you invest. I am all in! Are you? Let's do this!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
