She uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help clients find ways to cope and move forward. Marlea brings a calm presence and straightforward support to the work she does.
With ten years as a licensed clinician and earlier service as a first responder and veteran, she draws on wide life experience.
Background and approach

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Marlea commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a respectful relationship so clients can speak freely and reflect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thought patterns and practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Existential ideas are also part of her approach and help people consider values, meaning, and choice when life feels overwhelming. Marlea treats finding the right mix of methods as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust techniques so they fit the client's situation and daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not convenient or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or keeping momentum between longer appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
