Marla Voss

Marla Voss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. She works with people facing life changes, chronic illness, addiction concerns, relationship stress, mood challenges, and career strain. Marla aims to create a warm, respectful space where clients feel heard and understood.

Her approach is person-centered and strengths-based. She draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered skills to shape sessions around each person’s needs. Marla helps clients set clear goals, whether they want symptom relief, better daily functioning, or more insight into patterns.

Marla’s background includes community agency work and private practice, and she brings nearly three decades of healthcare experience that began in a hospital setting. That clinical history informs her work with people coping with chronic pain, illness, cancer, hospice and end-of-life issues, and aging concerns.

She holds licensure in multiple states: Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW). Marla uses practical tools from cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness approaches alongside relational work to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and practice coping skills.

Her typical office hours are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Wednesday from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm. Sessions and messages are handled within those times, and she replies to messages on available days when possible within 24 hours.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on processing and reducing the hold of past traumatic events. In practice this can mean pacing sessions to build safety, identifying trauma triggers, and learning techniques to manage intense reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people notice how they connect, respond to closeness, and change relational habits for better connection.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose strategies and adjust them over time so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Confirm session options before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and let people work from a quieter spot without commuting. Many licensed professionals adapt Trauma-Focused and attachment work to an online setting by using structured exercises, mindfulness practices, and focused conversation to build coping skills and clearer perspectives.
