About Marlo
Marlo Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. She focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship concerns, and helps people cope with life changes, grief, and parenting challenges. Her style is warm and pragmatic and she aims to help people make steady, usable changes.
Marlo spent years studying industrial psychology before earning a Master of Social Work from California State University, East Bay. She has eight years of clinical experience working with people facing trauma, compassion fatigue, and issues around self-esteem and codependency.
Background and approach
She draws on a mix of talking and practical steps to move things forward. In sessions she listens closely and helps clients identify the patterns that keep them stuck. She works with clients to set clear goals and then breaks those goals into small, doable steps.
The focus is on new behaviors and thought patterns that fit each person's life. Marlo uses techniques from client-centered work, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic thinking, and solution-focused methods. That gives room for both understanding past patterns and taking concrete action in the present.
She explains ideas plainly and adjusts the pace to each person. Most people who come to her want relief from persistent worry, better communication, or help rebuilding after loss. Marlo emphasizes hope and steady progress, working together to design a plan that feels realistic and meaningful.
How Marlo's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients find their own solutions to anxiety, relationship stress, and self-esteem concerns.Motivational Interviewing is a short-term approach that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It is useful when someone wants to shift habits, handle career decisions, or make progress after a major life change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Marlo collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She will adjust the plan over time based on what is helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while still working on anxiety, grief, relationship problems, and everyday coping skills.
