Marlo Lewis

Marlo Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. She offers calm, practical support and focuses on helping clients set and reach clear personal goals. Her tone is direct and encouraging for people who want change. Marlo asks questions to understand what is behind painful feelings and repeated patterns. She works with each person to uncover root issues and build new ways of thinking and acting. Sessions emphasize simple, doable steps that fit into everyday life. Her work blends time-tested talk therapy with goal-focused techniques. Marlo values collaboration and helps clients track progress and adjust plans when needed. She aims to make therapy feel like a steady, useful process rather than a one-time fix. Marlo trained in social work and holds a Master of Social Work from California State University, East Bay. She has eight years of clinical experience helping people through life changes, trauma, parenting stress, career strain, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are currently offered by phone only. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling, and Marlo uses that information to tailor early sessions to immediate needs and long-term goals.

How Marlo's Approaches Work in Phone Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on the person's own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person shape priorities and next steps. This approach is useful for managing stress, anger, and relationship concerns.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore a person's readiness for change. It uses questions and reflections to draw out motivation and set small, achievable goals. This method can help with career decisions, behavior shifts, and overcoming stuck patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marlo will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and then recommend ways of working that fit those goals. That choice is made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of phone sessions include easier scheduling around work and family, no need for a commute, and the ability to check in from wherever a quieter moment is available. Phone sessions can also make it simpler to use shorter check-ins when life is busy. Confirm current session options before booking so arrangements match your needs.
