About Marla
Marla Voss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) who helps adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can take to cope with mood challenges, relationship strain, and the emotional side of chronic illness. Her approach aims to make sessions feel respectful, warm, and grounded in each person’s strengths.
Marla draws on 14 years of clinical experience and three decades working in healthcare settings, including hospitals, community agencies, and private practice. She uses person-centered methods that put the client’s goals first and borrows techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and emotionally focused work. That means sessions often include identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing new ways of responding, and building skills that fit daily life.
She commonly supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, anger, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to aging, caregiving, serious illness, and end-of-life concerns. Money and financial issues are also part of her listed focus areas, so financial stress can be discussed alongside mood and relationship concerns.
Marla aims to help clients leave sessions feeling heard and with clear next steps. She works collaboratively to set realistic goals, tailor strategies, and adjust the plan if something isn’t working. Her hours of availability are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Wednesday from 8:00 a.m. to noon.
Sessions are offered in English. To begin, readers are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to therapist availability.
How certain therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape emotions and reactions. It helps people notice recurring patterns in close relationships and try new ways of connecting when old habits cause distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another; sessions often include setting small tasks, learning new coping skills, and testing out different ways of thinking to reduce symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, daily life, and what feels most useful. Together they choose methods and tailor pacing so work in sessions fits real-life needs and preferences.
