Marla Majors

Marla Majors is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, family conflict, and depression. She brings 11 years of experience and a direct, down-to-earth style that aims to make hard conversations feel manageable.

She works from the belief that each person knows their story best. Sessions focus on the client’s goals and strengths while addressing patterns that get in the way. Marla’s manner is warm, interactive, and often lightened with humor to keep work feeling human and real.

Her practical tools include talk therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. She also uses a client-centered stance and draws on attachment-based ideas when relationship history matters to the concern at hand. These methods support changes in thinking, emotion regulation, and behavior.

Marla has assisted people with issues such as abandonment, attachment disruptions, communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, blended family adjustment, and the effects of separation or divorce. She also addresses body image, dissociation, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, and co-occurring difficulties.

Clients can expect sessions that mix reflection, skill-building, and practical problem-solving. Marla aims to create a space where people can laugh, cry, and make steady progress toward clearer choices and healthier patterns.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that keep getting in the way of goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns. It can help when communication problems, abandonment concerns, or trust issues are part of a person's struggle.

Finding the right method is part of therapy. Marla will work together with each person to pick and try approaches that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice is revisited as work progresses so the plan can change when something else seems more useful.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins from a quieter spot or during a break at work. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and attachment-informed work for remote sessions through conversation, skill practice, and homework that supports real-world changes.
