About Marlo

Marlo Floyd is an Arkansas Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, and codependency concerns. She also addresses parenting strain, anger, career changes, ADHD, and related issues.

Marlo offers straightforward talk therapy alongside spiritual and mindfulness techniques. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to help people notice and change unhelpful patterns.

Her approach includes EMDR for processing certain trauma memories and mindfulness practices for calming intense feelings. Marlo mentions spiritual or Christian perspectives as part of some sessions, and she will respectfully work with a person's own source of inspiration. She names practical skills, habit change, and alternate thinking patterns as concrete goals of her work.

Sessions are aimed at reducing anxiety and depression, improving self-esteem, and finding steadier ways to manage relationships and cravings. She frames therapy around skills people can use day to day, such as emotion regulation and clearer communication. The work is direct and purpose-driven rather than vague or purely philosophical.

Clients can expect a mix of talk, skills practice, and mindful exercises. Marlo emphasizes life-skill development, forgiveness when it fits the client's goals, and building healthier relational patterns. People who are worn down by always putting others first may find the practical focus helpful.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people clarify what matters to them. It is about being heard and finding personal goals, which can help with relationship and self-esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, codependency patterns, and managing cravings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These tools are useful when feelings feel overwhelming or when boundaries are hard to maintain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That process usually involves short experiments with skills and checking what helps most.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. When available, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during busy days, or avoiding camera use when that helps someone engage. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques to remote sessions so clients can practice skills and track progress between meetings.
