About Marlo

Marlo Floyd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. She brings 23 years of experience to sessions and aims to offer straightforward support when life feels overwhelming.

Her approach blends practical talk with mindfulness and tools that parents and adults can use day to day. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She emphasizes strengths and works to help people build life skills and healthier habits.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on changing unhelpful thinking patterns, managing strong emotions, and improving communication within close relationships. Marlo mixes several evidence-informed methods in her work. She uses client-centered listening to understand each person’s priorities, cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift negative thoughts, and mindfulness practices to reduce stress.

She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy skills and EMDR when appropriate for trauma-related concerns. She addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting stress, relationship problems, addiction, grief, anger, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Additional focuses include attachment and blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin problems.

Marlo frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients set realistic goals and practices simple tools between sessions to support change. People who work with her can expect clear guidance, practical strategies, and steady support as they navigate difficult moments.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps clarify what matters most to the client and builds a trusting working relationship for parents and individuals dealing with stress and relationship issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In sessions clients learn to spot unhelpful thoughts and practice simple exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and parenting-related stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. These skills are useful for anger, relationship conflicts, and intense mood swings.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they select methods and adjust them over time to find what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and adults. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions fit tight schedules, and live chat or text messaging can provide brief check-ins and skill reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills in real life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
