About Marlo
Marlo Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with eight years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, grief, trauma and other life changes. Marlo focuses on practical steps clients can use to manage strong feelings and improve day-to-day functioning.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify the problems that cause difficult emotions. Sessions look at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Marlo helps people set clear goals and tries small, achievable changes to test what helps.
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. That mix of psychology and social work guides a focus on both emotional dynamics and concrete life adjustments.
In sessions she draws on several approaches. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person’s experience. Motivational Interviewing supports motivation for change. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover recurring patterns. Solution-Focused techniques help build short-term strategies and measurable steps.
Marlo currently offers phone sessions only. Before booking, confirm the current session options and any practical details. To begin, clients follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate into online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. In an online phone session this means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping the client clarify goals and decide next steps.Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. Over the phone, the therapist uses questions and reflective listening to strengthen motivation and plan practical steps for behavior change at work or home.
Psychodynamic ideas look for recurring patterns and emotional themes that repeat across relationships. In remote sessions, these observations can reveal how past experiences shape current reactions and give targets for practice and reflection.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about what is working, adjust techniques, and pick options that fit the client’s goals and pace.
Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments into a busy day and avoiding travel time. Phone sessions can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed or when video would be difficult. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered.
