Marlo Lewis

Marlo Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California who helps people facing grief, stress, anxiety, and big life changes. She offers straightforward support for relationship and intimacy worries, parenting strain, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. Marlo listens and helps people break down problems into manageable steps so they can move forward.

With eight years of clinical experience, Marlo focuses on uncovering what lies beneath difficult feelings. She helps clients identify patterns that fuel anger, guilt, shame, or low self-esteem. Conversations often move from understanding what happened to deciding what a person wants next and how to get there.

Her style is practical and collaborative. Marlo and each client set clear personal goals, adjust them as needed, and build small, realistic changes into daily life. She draws on techniques that support motivation, personal insight, and concrete solutions rather than offering long lists of theory.

Marlo's background includes a Master of Social Work from California State University, East Bay and a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Psychology from California State University, Hayward. She uses that training to combine attention to emotional patterns with practical problem solving.

Currently she provides sessions by phone. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Marlo’s approaches shape phone therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building on what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and makes room for their priorities to guide change. Motivational Interviewing focuses on small steps and strengthening a person’s own reasons for change, which is useful for career shifts, habit changes, and moving through grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marlo will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Together they check progress and adjust techniques so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Practical benefits of phone sessions include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into a busy day. Phone work can make it simpler to have a shorter check-in, avoid bandwidth or camera issues, and keep focus on talking through feelings and decisions. Because session formats can change, confirm current options before booking so your needs and schedule are aligned.
