About Marla
Marla Voss greets people who are exhausted, overwhelmed, or carrying a heavy loss with calm and straightforward care. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW who focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and other persistent worries. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at small shifts that make daily life easier.
Marla draws on 14 years of clinical experience gained in community agencies, hospitals, and independent practice.
Background and approach
She has spent much of her career supporting adults facing chronic illness, cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the emotional toll those situations bring. She also helps people navigating mood disorders, addictions, relationship strain, and career stress. Her work is person-centered and strengths-based.
That means sessions start with what matters to the individual and build skills from their existing strengths. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused approaches to address thinking patterns, emotion regulation, and connection with others. Marla pays close attention to attachment issues and how past relationships shape current reactions.
She also supports people working through guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are practical and collaborative, with clear goals and steps to try between meetings. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Marla practices in Wisconsin and communicates in English only.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, name feelings, and try new ways of relating in their daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions clients learn to identify unhelpful thoughts, test them, and practice small behavioral experiments between meetings to reduce distress and improve functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will listen to needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest options and collaborate on a plan. That way the work matches what the person wants to change and how they prefer to meet and practice new skills.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera feels easier. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied life demands.
