About Marlea
Marlea Major is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or changes in life. Her style is warm and direct, aiming to restore a sense of control and safety for each person she meets.
She draws on a history of service as a first responder and experience with foster care systems, which informs her understanding of trauma and caregiver strain.
Background and approach
That background shapes how she listens and the practical ways she offers support. Marlea focuses on problems like post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, addiction, sleeping difficulties, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.
She also relies on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and build new habits. Mindfulness and existential ideas help people connect with values and reduce reactivity in daily life. Marlea works with concerns around parenting stress, relationship conflict, career pressures, ADHD, self-esteem, and grief from abandonment or family-of-origin issues.
She approaches sensitive topics such as domestic violence and dissociation with steady, respectful care. Marlea aims to create space for people to reframe what’s possible and take manageable steps forward. She practices in Florida as an LMHC and LPC.
People who want to begin can expect straightforward guidance, practical skills, and a collaborative plan tailored to their situation.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. Online sessions allow Marlea to ask questions, reflect what she hears, and help clients set goals that feel doable in day-to-day life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In virtual sessions she helps people spot patterns, try new behaviors between sessions, and track what works to reduce anger, panic, or anxiety.
Mindfulness practices teach simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and support better sleep and emotional control. These exercises can be guided over video or reinforced through short text check-ins between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marlea will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and goals, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during short breaks. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief check-ins, sharing reflections, or keeping momentum between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into real life without extra travel.
