About Marla
Marla Majors is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, and family conflict. She focuses on everyday struggles like communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and feeling disconnected. Marla writes simply and listens closely as people tell their stories.
Her approach is warm, interactive, and often lightened with humor. Sessions are conversational and practical. She treats clients as the experts of their own lives and works alongside them to find what fits.
Background and approach
Marla draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and take steps that match their values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
She has worked in the field for 11 years and brings hands-on experience with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, dissociation, and domestic violence. That experience informs how she tailors strategies for each person. Sessions aim to be engaging and sometimes playful while still addressing hard topics.
Marla helps people try new ways of communicating, set boundaries, and manage cravings or compulsive behaviors. The goal is clearer choices and more stable connection in daily life.

Online support
How attachment and ACT translate to online therapy
Attachment-based ideas focus on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses; online sessions let clients explore patterns in communication and connection from their daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed over messaging or video. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving people space to lead the conversation while the therapist follows their pace.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and adapt methods over time. That helps ensure techniques match real needs rather than a fixed protocol.
Online formats offer flexibility for different situations. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or fitting brief support into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
