More about Marla
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
After 28 years as an occupational therapist helping individuals overcome physical challenges, I returned to school to pursue a career as a counselor. I believe that mental health is as important as physical ability. I also believe that it is never too late to change and that asking for help is a sign of strength rather than weakness. I do not promise immediate solutions to your struggles. I do promise to work with you to identify obstacles in your path to happiness and success. I promise you will be heard and validated and not judged. Reaching out is the first step. I am here to help you navigate your new journey.

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.
