Marlea Major, LMHC, LPC

Marlea Major is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 10 years of clinical experience in Florida. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, anger, depression, relationship strain, and sleep difficulties. Sessions are practical and focused on what is happening now and what a person wants to change.

Marlea draws on a background that includes long service as a first responder and military experience. That history informs how she talks about trauma, first responder stress, and the pressures of caregiving. She has also spent years working with foster children and the families who care for them, so she is familiar with adoption and foster care challenges and family-of-origin concerns.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her, with clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing mixed with existential and mindfulness ideas. In session she will teach skills for managing strong emotions like anger and panic, and will use practical exercises to test new behaviors. She also offers psychoeducation about how stress and trauma affect thinking and sleep.

Marlea often addresses impulsivity, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress alongside relationship or parenting issues. She uses straightforward talk and short, actionable practices people can use between sessions. Her goal is to help people regain a sense of control over daily reactions and difficult situations.

Clients should expect conversations that are direct and respectful, with attention to real-life needs such as work, caregiving, and recovery from trauma. She provides care in English and practices in Florida.
