Marlo Floyd , LPC

Marlo Floyd is an Arkansas-based licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 23 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and issues related to self-esteem and addiction. She works with concerns ranging from parenting and career stress to grief, intimacy struggles, ADHD, and coping with major life changes. Marlo brings a calm, matter-of-fact style to sessions and centers conversations on the client’s goals.

Her approach blends talk therapy with practical tools. She draws on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts, dialectical skills for emotional regulation, EMDR for trauma work, and mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness. Marlo also weaves in spirituality when clients want that perspective.

In the room she focuses on teaching concrete life skills. That can mean practicing new ways to manage anxiety, setting limits in difficult relationships, or building routines that support mood stability. She helps people identify patterns from their family of origin and work toward healthier communication and boundaries.

Marlo has worked across many settings over two decades and uses a strengths-based, nonjudgmental stance. She emphasizes forgiveness, self-compassion, and practical action steps rather than long abstract talk. Clients can expect clear feedback, homework when helpful, and collaboration on goals.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted remotely by a licensed professional in Arkansas. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to therapist availability.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your goals. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what she hears, and helps you clarify what matters most. This approach is useful for building trust and shaping goals in remote sessions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT often uses brief exercises, thought records, and homework to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms and improve mood regulation.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Those skills can be practiced in video or text sessions and applied to relationship stress, anger, or overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with short skill-building, then adding trauma-focused work if needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is ideal for deeper conversations and role-play. Phone calls can be a lower-bandwidth option when video is difficult. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, coaching-style support, or homework review between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and make regular contact easier.
