Marlo Best, LPC

Marlo Best is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 11 years of experience guiding people through stress, relationship struggles, trauma, and major life changes. She centers her work on helping clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves, with a particular emphasis on supporting women during difficult seasons.

Her approach emphasizes sorting through complex emotions such as guilt, shame, abandonment, and relational pain, and then translating insights into practical steps toward greater confidence and direction. Marlo partners with clients to identify unhelpful patterns and to develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others, whether the focus is on grief, self-esteem, or rebuilding trust after abuse.

In sessions she offers a respectful, empathetic environment where people can speak freely, gain clarity, and begin making steady progress. Her work aims to help clients move forward with increased resilience, clearer purpose, and more balanced relationships.

Evidence-based approaches for online healing and connection

Marlo Best uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping skills and deeper emotional processing. One approach emphasizes skills-based strategies to manage stress and anxiety - teaching breathing, grounding, and problem-solving tools that help reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach concentrates on processing trauma and relational wounds by exploring patterns, emotions, and past experiences so clients can make sense of pain and begin to heal relationally and emotionally. A third element of her practice involves working on self-esteem and boundary-setting to support healthier relationships and stronger self-regard.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process, and Marlo collaborates with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She encourages a partnership in which clients and therapist adjust methods over time to maximize progress and comfort.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging clients can access consistent care from licensed professionals without significant travel or scheduling barriers. These options make it easier to maintain momentum, build skills between sessions, and receive support when life feels most challenging.
