Practical Tools and Support, Anywhere You Are in Indiana

Marla Stamm uses a client-centered approach, which means sessions focus on what matters most to the client - their experiences, strengths, and the goals they want to work toward. This style can be especially helpful during life changes, relationship stress, or when someone wants support building confidence and direction.

She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and experiment with new ways of responding. CBT can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and panic symptoms by turning insight into concrete, day-to-day coping strategies.

Motivational Interviewing is another method she may use to help clients work through ambivalence and strengthen their reasons for change. It can support progress when someone feels stuck, is considering a shift in habits, or wants to build momentum toward healthier choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marla collaborates with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she revisits the plan over time to track progress and adjust as needed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a format that matches a client’s schedule and comfort level.
