About Marla
Marla Flores Reves is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 27 years of experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship struggles. She focuses on real-life problems that make daily life harder, such as low self-esteem, caregiving strain, grief, and changes at work or home. Her tone is direct and compassionate, and she aims to make therapy feel practical and approachable for someone juggling many obligations.
Marla centers sessions on the person in front of her. She draws on client-centered principles to listen without judgment and attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotions and behavior. Cognitive behavioral tools are used when clients want concrete strategies to manage thoughts, mood, and disruptive patterns.
She has worked with people over many life stages and pays attention to cultural and contextual factors that affect daily functioning. That includes supporting clients dealing with long-term caregiving, aging concerns, chronic illness, or the stresses of blended family dynamics. Marla also addresses issues related to addiction, ADHD, intimacy, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions clients can expect a combination of reflective conversation and practical skill-building. Marla helps identify patterns, try new ways of relating, and set small goals that fit into busy schedules. Her aim is to help people find clearer direction and more reliable ways to cope.
Marla practices in California as an LMFT, and she conducts work in English. If you want to learn more, follow the Start Therapy steps to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
