I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois and in Wisconsin and a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Iowa. I am currently accepting clients to work with in both of those states. My experiences come from direct mental health and behavioral health counseling for adults aged 18 and older with a variety of presenting issues including Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, trauma, grief as well as coping with physical health concerns, chronic diseases and illness.
I approach the therapeutic relationship with sensitivity and respect for people of all cultures. I strive to the therapeutic relationship, and you, with compassion, respect, and warmth. I hope that after each session you have felt heard and understood. My clinical experiences include working in community agencies and private practice. I have worked in healthcare for 30 years with my beginning experience working in a hospital.
My therapy style and approach are person centered and strengths-based drawing influence from Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness. I help clients design treatment goals specific to them as each person is unique and different approaches work for different people. Whether working towards gaining insight into specific circumstances, symptom relief, improved function, it is my hope we can work collaboratively to achieve it. It takes a lot of strength to work towards finding a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are willing to take that step, it would be a privilege if you would allow me to walk beside you.
I will do my best to respond to messages within 24 hours on my days of availability. Currently my hours of availability are Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Wednesdays from 8:00 am until 12:00 pm. I am not available on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays for appointments or to respond to messages. **Please note I am fluent in English only. I do not speak any foreign languages."

Marla used wisdom, compassion, and expertise during our counseling sessions. She used a holistic approach and helped to challenge me in ways that lead me to critical thinking and reflecting on my behaviors and habits. I recommend Marla to anyone!

Marla helped me through one of the darkest times I’ve went through. She’s a great listener, considerate, and compassionate while sharing insights on how to handle tough circumstances. She was my first counselor and I couldn’t of had a better experience. I’m a lot better because of her. Thanks so much, Marla.

I’ve only met with Marla Voss two times but she made me feel very well listened to, was a patient, good listener, honest in her capabilities, tries to relate and find common ground with whatever you’re going through, reminded me of who I am, and she’s a Kind and considerate Christian woman who truly cares about her patients and really holds your hand through whatever it is you’re going through! Recommend her 110%.

Thank you for all you do!

Marla Voss is an incredible person! I was matched with her because of numerous traumatic experiences during my CNA time in 2020, as well as an intent to get a good look at my flaws and good qualities so I could learn to grow as a person and be the best that I can be for a future partner. She was an incredibly kind listener, and also a firm challenger at just the right times. She gave me some homework, but tailored the therapy for my busy schedule. She prayed for me at the end of some sessions too, which was something I desperately needed as well. As someone who'd never had therapy and was quite scared about it, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was blown away by the healing I was able to find here.
I would absolutely 100% recommend her. I can say that I was immensely helped by her insight and will be living my life differently, striving to be free of the burdens of guilt and fear that I know now are not for me to bear anymore. :)
