About Marla
Marla Voss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Wisconsin. She brings 14 years of clinical experience and focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and codependency. Marla speaks English and aims to help people feel heard and understood in each session.
Marla uses a person-centered style that highlights clients' strengths. She draws on Attachment-Based ideas and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Imago approaches inform how she helps people look at relationship dynamics and emotions.
Her background includes community agencies, private practice, and long experience in healthcare settings that began in a hospital. That mix gives her familiarity with mental health, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. She works with adults who are coping with life changes, chronic health issues, grief, and burnout.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals chosen with the client. Conversations are practical and grounded - identifying patterns, trying new behaviors, and tracking how small changes feel. She aims to help with symptom relief, better daily functioning, and clearer next steps.
Marla generally responds to messages within 24 hours on the days she is available. Her stated hours are Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Wednesdays from 8:00 am until 12:00 pm. She is not available on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Marla uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current behavior and emotions, which can help people understand patterns in close connections and codependency. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Emotionally-Focused ideas inform how she helps people recognize and name emotions, and how those feelings affect relationships and coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marla treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adapts the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It can also make certain exercises easier to practice between sessions, since conversations and homework stay connected to everyday life.
