Marla Majors

Marla Majors is a licensed mental health counselor working in Washington who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, family conflict, and depression. She brings 11 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical ways to manage day-to-day challenges. Marla aims to create a calm, approachable space where clients can be honest and make tangible changes.

Her style is warm, interactive, and occasionally funny. Sessions often mix conversation with hands-on strategies. Clients may find moments of insight alongside lightness and real emotion. Marla believes people already have strengths to draw on and helps them notice those strengths.

Marla draws on Mindfulness Therapy alongside acceptance and cognitive methods to help people handle overwhelming thoughts and strong feelings. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships affect present behavior. The work tends to focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and becoming more present in daily life.

In session she uses talk therapy and supportive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques, guided by a client-centered approach. That means the conversation follows the client’s priorities while introducing tools that feel useful and doable.

Starting therapy with Marla involves small, achievable steps. She frames progress as a mix of insight and practice, and supports people as they try new ways of coping. Her goal is to help clients build routines and habits that fit their life.

Mindful and Practical Approaches for Online Work

Marla often uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice what is happening in the body and mind without getting lost in it. Mindfulness practices can help with anxiety, stress, and managing urges related to addictions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is another approach she uses to help people clarify their values and take small committed actions toward them even when feelings are difficult.

She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current interactions. That work can help with communication problems, commitment concerns, and family-related stress. Marla approaches each case collaboratively and will help you figure out which methods feel most useful based on your goals and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not detailed in the biography. Many people find online work useful because it can fit more easily into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. The therapist-client collaboration focuses on developing tools you can use between sessions so therapy supports real-life changes.
