About Marlo
Marlo Floyd is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 23 years of experience who focuses on practical help for parents feeling overwhelmed. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, addiction, grief, relationship strain, and self-esteem challenges. Her style is down-to-earth and compassionate, with attention to both emotional and spiritual concerns.
She blends talk therapy with mindfulness and practical life skills. Sessions may include cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and DBT-informed tools for managing intense emotions.
Background and approach
Marlo also uses elements of EMDR for trauma work when appropriate and respects each person's spiritual perspective. Marlo emphasizes simple, teachable skills parents can use between sessions. She helps people change habits, improve communication, and build routine strategies that lower anxiety and reduce conflict.
Humor and a strengths-based approach are part of her work. Her background includes long-term counseling experience in Arkansas, and she brings a nonjudgmental presence to sessions. She offers support for issues like caregiver stress, blended family concerns, fatherhood issues, and codependency without assuming a single path to healing.
Marlo aims to help people find more peace, better relationships, and clearer goals. She works collaboratively to set practical steps and to adapt methods to what fits each person’s life and values.

How these approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's goals first and emphasizes listening and empathy. Online sessions using this approach focus on building trust, clarifying priorities, and helping people name what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. In online work CBT often uses short homework tasks, thought records, and step-by-step behavior changes that fit into a parent's day. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. DBT techniques used remotely include emotion-regulation exercises, grounding tactics, and skills coaching between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust techniques as progress is made. Clients can expect to try tools and then refine them based on what helps in real life.
Online therapy with Marlo includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, brief coaching, or prompts to use tools between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, childcare, and daily routines.
