More about Marla
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a counselor with 20 years of experience, both paid and pro bono. I have experience with all age groups, individual and group counseling. I have worked to help those with many different issues including, but not limited to, relationship issues and conflict resolution, decision making, boundary setting, ADHD, OCD, depression, anxiety, loneliness, lack of purpose and finding purpose, addiction issues, family conflict, couples counseling, and parenting issues.
My primary manner of counseling is that of providing a very safe and warm place for you to process and find solutions to your problems. I will never tell you what to do, but will ask questions to help you to think about your goals and how to practically reach them. Please come ready to work! I require a counseling relationship based on truth and mutual respect. I view you as made by God and extremely important. You will find that your reward in this process is based on how much you invest. I am all in! Are you? Let's do this!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
