01About Marlea
Marlea Major is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting strain, addiction, depression, and sleep problems. She brings a calm, respectful presence and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for worried parents. Marlea uses plain language and a steady approach to guide each person toward clearer choices and better coping.
She draws on ten years as a licensed clinician and many more years of experience as a first responder and military veteran.
Background and approach
That background shapes how she listens to people dealing with trauma, first-responder stress, and the unique pressures of caregiving. Her perspective helps her recognize practical barriers and emotional fatigue that come with demanding roles. Sessions focus on what the person needs now.
Marlea blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to reduce overwhelming thoughts and build consistent habits. She also weaves in existential conversations about meaning and motivation when those topics feel important to a client. Parents and caregivers who have dealt with foster care, adoption, abandonment, or complex family histories will find experience relevant to their concerns.
Marlea also addresses issues such as panic attacks, ADHD-related challenges, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress in straightforward terms. Conversations are collaborative and goal-oriented. Marlea uses practical tools, education, and short-term strategies alongside deeper reflection when it helps.
She encourages gentle progress and helps people plan the next steps toward feeling more steady and in control.

04Online support
Approach and options for online care
Marlea commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work means conversations focus on the persons goals and feelings, with the therapist following the clients lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help people notice stress and calm their nervous system. Together, the therapist and client decide which mix of approaches fits the concern, goals, and personality. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted over time to match progress and preferences.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, logging thoughts between sessions, or a lower-pressure way to communicate when being on camera feels like too much.
