    About Marlo

    Marlo Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. Marlo frames therapy as a partnership and encourages realistic goals clients can build on over time.

    She brings eight years of experience to sessions and draws on several therapy styles to meet each person where they are. Conversations aim to uncover patterns that keep problems alive and to replace them with new ways of thinking and acting. The work often involves identifying small, achievable changes and tracking progress together.

    Marlo received a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Psychology from California State University, Hayward and a Master of Social Work from California State University, East Bay. She holds a California LCSW credential and works from that clinical background when planning care.

    Her approach balances listening and practical problem solving. Sessions can include exploring past experiences that shape current feelings, using client-centered feedback to guide choices, and focusing on solutions that fit daily life. She stresses collaboration and pacing that matches the client's needs.

    Marlo currently offers phone sessions only. Before booking, readers should confirm session options and scheduling details. To begin, users can follow the site process to match with her and pick a time that fits their routine.

  2. How Marlo’s approaches guide online therapy

    Marlo uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. This approach focuses on gentle questions, clarifying personal goals, and building motivation step by step. It can be useful for making life changes like managing stress or shifting habits.

    She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and reflecting what the client says. That creates space to feel heard and to explore what matters most. Psychodynamic Therapy is used when past patterns seem linked to present difficulties; it helps name repeated themes and how they affect current feelings and relationships.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marlo collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and preferences. She adjusts pace and techniques as progress is made, so the plan often changes over time.

    Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Marlo currently offers phone sessions only, which can be simpler when video would be difficult, require less bandwidth, or when a shorter check-in is needed. Before booking, confirm the available session options and how they would fit into your routine.
