More about Marlo
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am licensed in Louisiana and Mississippi with 20 years of professional work experience with teenagers and adults. I have experience in helping clients with a variety of issues, including stress, anxiety, coping with addictions, family conflicts, motivation, self esteem, & confidence. I have background working with depression and emotional abuse. I also have extensive time involved with helping those who suffer from panic attacks and disorder.
My therapy style is one with a foundation of warmth and collaboration. I believe that an openness in the therapeutic relationship is built upon respect and a safe environment, where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My approach combines solution-focused, narrative, and transformational systemic therapies with CBT and DBT activities. I strive to create goals and plans unique to every client and their input and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
I look forward to helping you take back the positive beliefs in your life.

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.
