Marla Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas (TX LPC 79992) who began her counseling career as a school counselor more than 15 years ago. She began transitioning to work as an LPC in 2018, held roles in both school settings and private practice during that time, and completed the transition in June of 2021. She has seven years of experience providing therapy services as an LPC.

She has worked with clients ranging in age from 3 to 73 and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem, motivation, confidence, and coping with life changes. Her approach draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and other counseling theories, and she is trained in EMDR and offers that treatment in her practice.

Marla treats clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and works collaboratively to develop individualized treatment plans. She identifies as a female therapist and includes Christian, older, and conservative among her practice characteristics. Making the decision to reach out for help is often the hardest step, and she acknowledges that first step with encouragement and a commitment to walking alongside clients through their journey.
