About Marla Majors
Marla Majors is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 11 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, family conflicts, and depression.

Her manner is warm, interactive, and wholesome with a sense of humor that can make therapy both introspective and engaging. Sessions often blend thoughtful conversation with moments of lightness - clients have laughed and cried together in session, and she even recalls one client who snorted during a moment of levity.
Marla primarily uses talk therapy alongside supportive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and she frames work through a client-centered lens so the session stays focused on each person’s priorities. This combination aims to build practical coping skills while honoring the client’s values and experiences.
She works with people facing a range of issues including abandonment and attachment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, blended family dynamics, codependency, communication and commitment struggles, dissociation, and domestic violence. Marla’s goal is to offer steady, compassionate guidance as clients move toward greater clarity and well-being.

Practical Approaches for Online Therapy
Marla often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), blended with a client-centered approach to tailor online work to each person’s needs. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building concrete skills to manage symptoms like anxiety or depression, making it useful for stress, mood concerns, and many everyday problems. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, relationship challenges, and impulsive behaviors. A client-centered stance keeps the session grounded in the individual’s goals and values, allowing therapy to unfold at a comfortable pace.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Marla works collaboratively with clients to explore what methods feel most effective, adjusting strategies over time based on needs, goals, and personal preferences.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver focused, practical care in ways that fit daily life, making ongoing support more accessible without sacrificing the therapeutic relationship.
