About Marlene

Marlene Carver is a licensed counselor in Alabama, holding the LPC credential (Licensed Professional Counselor, AL LPC LPC04744) and bringing five years of clinical experience to her practice. She works with adults facing a range of concerns including addictions, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, anxiety, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem challenges, career concerns, depression, and adjusting to life changes. Her practice also includes focused support for hospice and end-of-life counseling, infidelity, self-harm, and sexual assault and abuse.

Marlene emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction and adapts counseling conversations and treatment plans to the specific needs of each person. She draws on approaches such as client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness to help clients develop practical skills, new perspectives, and healthier coping strategies. Beginning therapy can take courage, and Marlene acknowledges that first step while offering structured, individualized care to help clients move forward at a pace that suits them.

Available through multiple remote formats, Marlene focuses on clear goals and collaborative planning so that interventions align with each client’s priorities and life circumstances. Her approach is practical, empathetic, and tailored to support recovery, resilience, and stronger relationships over time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Marlene Carver integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to support clients in practical, relatable ways. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps build self-understanding and personal agency - this approach often helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering skills-based strategies that can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Marlene works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time so the treatment matches what is most helpful for the client.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexible access to care and makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or varied life situations. These options allow clients to connect with a licensed professional in the format that feels most comfortable and convenient, supporting consistent progress even when attending in-person sessions is difficult.
