About Marla
Marla Moreno is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Marla also addresses communication problems and other related concerns listed in her profile.
Her approach mixes several practical methods. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She incorporates mindfulness and somatic skills to help people notice how thinking and the body connect. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to set goals and make step-by-step changes.
In sessions she focuses on everyday choices and how they affect feelings and relationships. She helps people learn communication skills, manage impulses, and reduce patterns that make life harder. Conversations aim to identify clear goals and small actions clients can try between meetings.
Marla works with adults roughly aged 18 to 75. Her style is described as direct and relational; she helps clients build practical habits and coping strategies. She explains approaches plainly and checks in about what feels useful.
People who want help sorting out next steps after a change in work, relationships, or health may find her approach appropriate. The process begins by selecting the online therapy options button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a first session to discuss goals and a plan.
How her approaches translate to online work
Marla commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing thoughts and bodily reactions to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change. That method focuses on the client’s values and readiness, helping people set realistic next steps and stay motivated. Choosing an approach is collaborative; she will discuss what feels most useful based on a person's goals and preferences.
