About Marlo
Marlo Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with eight years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, career questions, parenting, grief, trauma and abuse, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and she currently offers phone sessions only.
Marlo focuses on practical steps you can use right away. She helps people identify what is keeping them stuck and then develop clearer goals. Conversations look at thoughts, feelings, and patterns of behavior that feed frustration, resentment, or repeated conflict. She uses direct problem-solving alongside deeper reflection to reduce tension and improve day-to-day interactions.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Psychology and a Master of Social Work from California State University, East Bay. As an LCSW she brings social work perspectives to relationship and life-change issues. That training informs how she attends to both current problems and long-standing patterns that affect mood and behavior.
Expect sessions that combine listening with concrete tools. Marlo may use client-centered conversations, solution-focused steps, motivational interviewing techniques, and psychodynamic ideas to look at past influences. Together with the client she tracks progress and adjusts plans if something is not helping.
People often come for help with anger that shows up at work or home, communication breakdowns, or overwhelming stress. Phone sessions are offered to fit into busy schedules and focus on real-world change.
How sessions work
Approaches used in phone-based therapy and how they help
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients clarify goals and choices. This approach is useful when anger feels tied to unmet needs or ongoing friction in relationships.Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, practical changes. Sessions often identify one or two concrete steps to try between meetings. That method can be helpful for work-related frustration, communication problems, or getting unstuck after a conflict.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels ambivalent about changing behavior. It uses guided questions to draw out the client’s own reasons for change and build momentum. This can support people who want to manage recurring anger but are unsure how to begin.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. Over early sessions she will suggest techniques, see what helps, and adjust the plan together.
Practical benefits of phone sessions include easier fitting of therapy into a busy schedule, a quieter option that does not require video, and the ability to check in during a break from work or between commitments. Confirm current session options before booking so the chosen format meets your needs.
