About Marla

Marla Voss is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 14 years of professional experience, she draws on practical skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other relational methods to support people coping with chronic illness, addiction, mood disorders, and challenges related to career, relationships, and caregiving.

Voss brings a person-centered, strengths-based sensibility to each session, offering compassionate, respectful collaboration that aims to help clients feel heard and understood. Her clinical background spans community agencies, independent practice, and healthcare settings, including hospital-based work, which informs her understanding of the emotional impact of physical health concerns and end-of-life issues.

Clients can expect goal-focused planning tailored to their needs, whether the emphasis is on symptom management, improved functioning, or greater insight. Marla practices in Wisconsin and communicates in English, offering a range of online session formats and flexible scheduling in line with her documented availability.

Online Approaches That Balance Thought and Relationship

Marla Voss incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how past relational patterns influence current stress and communication, which can be useful for addressing attachment issues, relationship concerns, and feelings of isolation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marla works with clients to define goals and then adapts methods based on individual needs and preferences, mixing structured CBT techniques with relational, client-centered attention so treatment reflects what each person finds most helpful.

Online care is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports scheduling flexibility and lets clients choose the format that fits their life. These remote options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to maintain continuity of care around work, health, or caregiving demands.
