About Marlene
She approaches therapy with the belief that individuals are the experts of their own stories and that building on personal strengths leads to meaningful change. Marlene encourages clients to take courageous first steps toward a more satisfying, fulfilling life and offers steady support while they move toward their goals. Her style emphasizes empowerment, practical strategies, and collaboration so clients can develop the skills and confidence needed to face challenges and pursue well-being.
As an LMFT, Marlene brings training in relational and systems-informed care to her practice, applying therapeutic tools that suit the needs of individuals, couples, and families. She aims to create a respectful, encouraging space where people can explore priorities, try new approaches, and build on what already works in their lives.
Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Licensed Professionals
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and strengths, offering a supportive environment where the therapist listens closely and helps the person clarify values and choices. It suits those who want a collaborative, strength-based process for dealing with life transitions, relationships, or low motivation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and action-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and building coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing techniques that reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness - helpful for stress, rumination, and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marlene will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress unfolds. That collaborative process helps ensure therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, receive support from different locations, and use the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to helping clients move forward.
