About Marlo
Marlo Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, career concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and codependency-related patterns.
Marlo uses clear, practical talk in sessions. She helps people identify what keeps them stuck and then tries out different ways of responding. Conversations focus on current problems, your short-term goals, and small changes that can make daily life more manageable.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from California State University, East Bay. Marlo also trained earlier in industrial psychology at California State University, Hayward. Those studies shape how she looks at behavior, roles, and daily pressures.
In therapy she draws from several approaches. Client-centered work keeps the conversation focused on the person in the room. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at recurring patterns that started long ago. Solution-focused techniques help break problems into concrete steps you can test between sessions.
Marlo currently offers phone sessions. She will help set clear goals, adjust plans as needed, and check progress over time. If you want straightforward guidance for boundaries, communication problems, or recovering a sense of self, she frames the work in practical, usable steps.
How sessions work
How Marlo uses online approaches and what to expect
Marlo integrates client-centered work and solution-focused techniques into remote sessions. Client-centered therapy means conversations center on the person's experience and priorities. That approach helps when someone needs a calm, listening space to sort emotions and make choices. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps and experimentation between sessions to build momentum and change daily habits. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marlo will talk with the client about goals, struggles, and preferences, then suggest ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or goals change. Her biography notes she currently offers phone sessions only. Confirm the available session options before booking so you know what fits your routine. Phone sessions can make it easier to schedule around work, be a shorter check-in, or avoid needing to be on camera. The online format aims to fit therapy into everyday life so people can try new behaviors and follow up on goals between meetings.Areas of focus
