01About Marla
Marla Moreno is a licensed professional counselor in Oregon with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, anger, and challenges that come with major life changes. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at helping people find clearer ways forward.
Moreno draws on several practical methods in sessions. She often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices and motivational strategies are used to build calm and support small steps toward goals. In the therapy room she focuses on concrete skills. That can include communication tools, impulse-control strategies, or routines to manage mood shifts and seasonal patterns.
Sessions may also address relationship strain, guilt and shame, or struggles with process addictions like gambling or problematic internet use. Her style blends empathy with straightforward feedback. She helps clients set realistic goals and breaks those goals into manageable steps.
Progress is tracked with practical exercises and repetition rather than abstract talk. Marla uses narrative and solution-focused work when people want to reframe their stories and identify what already works in their lives. She also incorporates somatic awareness when physical tension or stress shows up in the body.
The result is a flexible, skills-focused process that aims to help people cope better day to day.

04Online support
How her approach and online care work together
Marla often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to try small experiments that can change those patterns. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and impulsive behaviors.She also teaches mindfulness skills to help reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment calm. Mindfulness practices can support emotional regulation and make stressful moments easier to manage. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding personal reasons to change and building commitment to new habits.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Marla will work with each person to identify goals and test different methods to find what fits best. That means trying practical tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans together as needs shift.
Online sessions offer a range of ways to connect. Video calls let therapists observe nonverbal cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be a lighter option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make shorter, focused exchanges possible between sessions and can help keep momentum on homework and skill practice.
