How her therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional responses. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try new ways of connecting that feel safer and more satisfying.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their strengths. The therapist listens without judgment, helps clarify goals, and supports each individual's pace and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marla will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan when needed so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Confirm which online session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it easier to maintain continuity of care when health or mobility issues make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can guide how to structure sessions so they meet each person’s needs and daily routine.
