I have only been meeting with Marla for a couple of weeks but so far she has been amazing. She will ask me questions about things in my life that I forgot I even mentioned just proving how good of a listener she is, and that means the most to me. I am so excited to continue working with her!

More about Marla
- 6 years' experience

- LPC
Hello - My name is Marla Anderson, and I am an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) from Northeast Texas. I started my counseling career as a school counselor more than 15 years ago. I began to make the change to an LPC in 2018, working both sides (school counseling and private practice). I fully made the crossover in June of 2021. During that time until the present, I have had the privilege to work with people from ages 3 to 73.
I have experience in helping my clients work through stress and anxiety, addiction issues, depression, and anger management as well as motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating all my clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and working together to come up with the best treatment plan to meet unique and specific needs.
Making the choice to reach out for help is a big step, and the first step is always the hardest. Congratulations on taking that first step towards a healthier you. I look forward to our 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.
