More about Marlo

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a licensed therapist in Louisiana who helps individuals work through stress, relationship challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. I have a strong focus on supporting women who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves.

My work centers on helping clients sort through difficult emotions such as guilt, shame, abandonment, and relationship pain. Together, we focus on building self-confidence, rediscovering personal direction, and creating healthier patterns in life and relationships.

I provide a supportive and respectful space where clients can talk openly, gain clarity, and begin moving forward with greater strength and balance.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
