About Marlo
Marlo Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of practice in California. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, and relationship strain. Her style is warm and practical, focused on small steps that make daily life feel more manageable.
Marlo creates a supportive space where clients name what matters most to them. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, then helps try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and doable actions rather than long abstract talks. Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Psychology from California State University, Hayward, and a Master of Social Work from California State University, East Bay. As an LCSW she draws on that training to guide conversations about emotions, behavior, and life transitions.
Marlo blends client-centered conversation with techniques from motivational interviewing and solution-focused work to build motivation and practical change. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to trace how past experiences shape current reactions. This mix helps people address things like codependency, control issues, communication problems, and caregiving strain.
Her approach is collaborative. Clients and therapist set goals, try new strategies, and check what’s working. Marlo emphasizes self-compassion, clearer communication, and steps that fit each person’s life circumstances.

How Marlo's Methods Work Online
Marlo uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to each person and to build a trusting conversation that prioritizes the client's goals and values. Motivational interviewing is used to boost readiness for change and to clarify reasons for wanting different behavior, which helps when tackling issues like anger or career shifts. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and experiences influence current reactions, offering ways to spot repeating patterns and try new responses.Finding the right mix of approaches happens together. Marlo will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then tailor the approach. The process is collaborative: goals are set, plans are tested, and adjustments are made based on what helps most.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone can fit a short check-in or lower bandwidth situations, and messaging lets clients share updates between sessions or check in quickly. These options add flexibility for busy schedules and different communication needs while keeping therapy focused on clear, attainable steps.
