About Marlo
Marlo Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and trouble with self-esteem. She practices in California and draws on eight years of clinical experience to guide clients through life changes and emotional pain. Her style is warm and collaborative.
Sessions focus on understanding what is behind difficult feelings and building practical steps forward. She listens first, then helps people set realistic goals and try small changes that can add up over time.
How Marlo works
Marlo uses straightforward methods to support progress. She blends client-centered listening with tools from motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns, and solution-focused strategies to create short-term plans.
In a typical session she will ask about what matters most to the person, identify obstacles, and work on specific ways to cope better. This can include practicing new communication skills, addressing codependency or control issues, and managing anger or compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with trauma, end-of-life concerns, and the shame that can follow difficult experiences.
Marlo invites people to set goals and revise them as needed. She emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes and aims to help clients find more self-love, purpose, and balance. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through online formats consistent with her practice.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies their own goals. Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding a person's internal reasons to change, using gentle questions and guidance to strengthen commitment and move past ambivalence. It is useful for stuck points like career shifts, substance concerns, or making lifestyle changes.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Sessions may blend approaches over time so the plan stays aligned with what helps most in practice.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and reading body language. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions or have shorter, focused exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
