About Marlea
Marlea Major is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, and a broad range of life disruptions.
Background and approach
With a decade of formal counseling experience and additional years in related professional roles, she draws on practical insight to support clients coping with parenting concerns, relationship strain, mood difficulties, substance issues, sleep problems, anger, and career transitions. Her work includes attention to trauma, abuse, adoption and foster care dynamics, caregiver stress, dissociation, and other complex presentations.
She approaches therapy with warmth and empathy, valuing respect, dignity, and a non-stigmatizing stance toward struggle. Marlea integrates client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral tools, existential reflection, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to tailor treatment to each person's situation.
Licensed in Florida as an LMHC and also holding a Georgia LPC credential, she offers a collaborative style designed to empower clients to regain a sense of control and pursue meaningful change. Marlea welcomes individuals ready to begin a therapeutic process and supports practical steps toward coping and growth while considering each person’s unique needs and goals.
Approach to Online Therapy and Practical Methods
Marlea often combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people address immediate problems and build long-term coping skills. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and understood while identifying personal values and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy uses structured techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with skills that reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and low mood.Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then adapt methods over time so the plan fits the client’s needs and pace. This process is meant to be flexible and responsive rather than fixed from the outset.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible and flexible for varied schedules and life demands. These remote formats allow work on cognitive strategies, mindfulness exercises, motivational interviewing conversations, and practical problem-solving from home or other convenient locations, supporting continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
