About Marlea
Marlea Major is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of counseling experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting stress, addiction, career strain, and family-related issues. Sessions also address sleep problems, anger, ADHD, and effects of trauma and abuse.
Major draws on her background as a first responder and veteran to understand stress tied to demanding jobs. That experience informs how she talks about burnout, compassion fatigue, and first responder or veteran-related concerns. She also has many years of work with foster care and adoption contexts, and she is familiar with caregiver strain and family of origin issues.
Her approach is grounded in client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods. She combines practical skills with reflective conversation. Clients can expect to learn concrete techniques for managing symptoms alongside time to talk through personal history and values.
Major uses elements of existential therapy to address meaning, responsibility, and life direction. Mindfulness strategies are introduced to help with attention, anxiety, and sleep. Motivational interviewing supports change when someone is ambivalent about next steps.
She practices in Florida and offers services in English. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site's online options.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s perspective, helping people talk through patterns that come from their family of origin and current roles. It’s useful for discussing values, relationships, and parenting struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing impulsivity or addiction urges.
Mindfulness Therapy provides simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support sleep and focus. These exercises pair well with CBT skills to help handle stress in the moment.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and daily routines. Plans can shift as needs change and progress is reviewed together.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use talk-based sessions alongside brief exercises or homework to help apply new skills between meetings.
