About Marlo
Marlo Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She offers straightforward, compassionate support for relationship strain, grief, trauma, career questions, and struggles with self-esteem. Her approach is practical and goal-focused, aimed at helping clients make steady changes that fit their lives.
Marlo draws on eight years of clinical experience and training in social work to guide conversations that matter.
Background and approach
She listens first, then helps identify patterns that keep problems stuck. From there she works with clients to try new ways of thinking and behaving that reduce distress and build confidence. Sessions emphasize real-world steps.
Marlo helps people set clear, manageable goals and checks progress over time. She uses client-centered techniques to follow the client’s lead and solution-focused strategies to generate immediate, actionable steps. When deeper themes surface, she uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current reactions.
Motivational interviewing supports clients who need help finding internal reasons to change. These methods are blended to match each person’s needs and pace. Marlo practices in California and conducts sessions in English.
She currently offers phone sessions. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Approaches Marlo lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Approaches that guide online care
Marlo uses client-centered therapy and solution-focused therapy to shape online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities so conversations feel relevant and respectful. It helps people who need a supportive space to sort feelings and make decisions. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, practical changes and immediate next steps to create momentum and reduce overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marlo treats approach as collaborative - she will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps. That way sessions match a person’s needs and pace instead of sticking to one set method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different days and needs. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is preferred. Text or chat can work well for quick updates or between-session notes. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation when that is desired. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep continuity when life gets in the way.
