About Marlo
Marlo Best is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and building healthier self-esteem. Marlo often supports women feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves.
She helps clients name and work through emotions like guilt, shame, and feelings of abandonment. Sessions emphasize practical steps for rebuilding confidence and finding clearer direction.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to surface patterns that keep people stuck and then replace them with healthier ways of coping. Marlo listens with respect and offers a calm space for honest conversation. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on relationship pain, codependency, and caregiver stress.
The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes. People come for help with domestic violence recovery, navigating narcissistic dynamics, or restoring self-love after loss. Marlo also supports practical life-purpose work, helping clients identify values and small actions that move them forward.
She balances emotional processing with real-world tools. Her sessions may include talking through recent events, practicing new communication habits, and setting manageable goals between meetings. The approach is collaborative - the client’s goals shape the pace and focus of therapy.
Over time the work is meant to increase resilience and clearer decision making.
Approaches for anxiety and relationship healing online
Marlo uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety and relationship pain. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and replacing it with clearer, more balanced perspectives; this helps reduce worry and improves decision making in stressful moments. Another approach centers on processing difficult emotions from trauma and loss in small, steady steps so feelings become easier to handle and less overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client collaborate to decide which methods fit best for current goals, personal history, and day-to-day needs. That shared planning helps ensure sessions feel relevant and move the client toward practical change.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people see facial cues and practice new communication skills. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins and ongoing support between appointments. These formats help therapy fit into work, caregiving, and travel schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
