Marlo Lewis

Marlo Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and the fallout from separation and divorce. She works with clients on relationship concerns, self-esteem, anger, and coping with big life changes. Marlo uses a warm, supportive style that focuses on clear goals and steady progress.

Marlo creates a space where clients can talk through what feels stuck and figure out practical next steps. She listens, asks questions to clarify what matters most, and helps people shift thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of feeling better. Sessions emphasize real-world changes, not jargon.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with tools that prompt motivation and short-term problem solving. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. These methods are used to uncover underlying issues and build new ways of coping.

Marlo earned a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Psychology from California State University, Hayward in 2002. She completed a Master of Social Work from California State University, East Bay in 2008 and holds a California LCSW credential. She has practiced for eight years and brings that experience to each session.

Sessions are currently offered by phone only. Before booking, confirm the current session options and scheduling details. If you choose to begin, you will work together to set goals and create a plan that fits daily life.

How Marlo’s Approaches Shape Online Work

Marlo uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s experience and goals, creating space to be heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs empathy and a steady partner to sort through feelings.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to build small, achievable steps toward those goals. That method is useful for decisions about relationships, career moves, or managing habits tied to stress and health.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marlo will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and help choose which methods to try. The process is collaborative and may shift as things evolve in therapy.

Sessions are currently offered by phone only, so confirm the session options before booking. Phone sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid the need to be on camera. If you want to start, discuss scheduling and how sessions will fit into your routine when you complete the initial matching steps.
