About Marlo

Marlo Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. She offers a calm, down-to-earth presence and focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. Marlo speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone juggling life’s demands.

Marlo draws on eight years of clinical experience and a background in industrial psychology and social work. She listens for the patterns that fuel old habits and gently guides work on new ways of thinking and behaving. Sessions include setting personal goals, checking progress, and adjusting plans so changes fit into real life.

Her approach blends client-centered conversation with motivational techniques and longer-term psychodynamic reflection. She also uses solution-focused strategies to identify small, doable changes that build forward momentum. The result is a mix of immediate coping skills and attention to deeper issues that keep problems recurring.

Marlo often works with people coping with life changes, parenting strain, career stress, codependency, grief, and compassion fatigue. She helps with intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, anger, and issues tied to guilt or shame. Clients who want help finding life purpose or navigating end-of-life and hospice conversations will find this to be part of her focus.

Marlo practices in California and conducts sessions in English. She currently offers phone sessions only, and she asks new clients to confirm current session options when they begin the process.

How Marlo’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s experience and priorities. Marlo listens closely and keeps the conversation focused on what the client finds most meaningful, which can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused way of talking that helps people resolve mixed feelings and move toward change; it is useful for career decisions, habits, and building momentum.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marlo collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She checks in about what is helping and what needs changing so the plan stays useful and realistic.

The profile notes Marlo currently offers phone sessions only, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Many people find this flexibility helps maintain consistent progress while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
