About Marlo
Marlo Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. She focuses on practical steps clients can take to feel more grounded and grow toward the life they want.
Marlo creates a supportive space where clients talk through what is getting in the way of their wellbeing. She emphasizes clear goals and small changes that add up. Sessions aim to identify patterns that cause recurring problems and to develop new ways of thinking and acting.
With eight years of clinical practice, Marlo draws on several approaches to meet different needs. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. She incorporates motivational interviewing to help clarify goals and support commitment to change.
Marlo also explores deeper themes that can affect behavior over time, using psychodynamic ideas to notice how past experiences influence present choices. When people want focused, brief work, she brings in solution-focused strategies to map quick, concrete steps forward.
Her work often touches on family and parenting topics, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and life transitions like divorce or end-of-life concerns. Clients can expect a respectful, collaborative process aimed at building skills, reducing painful symptoms, and creating a realistic plan for moving ahead.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Marlo commonly uses client-centered therapy and motivational interviewing to shape her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and to set their own priorities. Motivational interviewing helps clarify what someone wants to change and strengthens their commitment to take practical steps toward those goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marlo works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so sessions stay relevant and useful for daily life.
Currently she offers phone sessions only, so confirm session options before booking if you need a different format. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency while they work on stress, relationships, parenting, grief, or other concerns.
