York Marlowe, LPC, LPCC

York Marlowe is a licensed professional counselor with eight years in the mental health field. He holds LPC and LPCC credentials and practices in Wisconsin. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, or major life changes.

York sees therapy as a team effort. He works with each person to pick approaches that match their needs and goals. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear steps that people can use between meetings.

He has substantial experience with trauma-related concerns and related problems like panic, phobias, dissociation, and the aftermath of sexual assault or disaster. He also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, relationship or intimacy struggles, grief, and self-esteem issues.

York uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change patterns of behavior. He also incorporates EMDR and trauma-focused methods when trauma symptoms are prominent, and motivational interviewing to help people find motivation for change.

Outside of work he spends time with his wife and two cats and enjoys hiking, bowling, reading, video games, and chess. He aims to make sessions straightforward, practical, and focused on what matters most to each person.

Practical approaches for online trauma and anxiety care

York uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and then practice clearer ways of responding. CBT often focuses on short, structured work such as tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and building coping skills for anxiety, panic, or mood concerns.

He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma memories are part of the problem. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories so they are less likely to trigger anxiety, flashbacks, or strong emotional reactions. Motivational Interviewing may also be used to help people find internal reasons to make changes and to set realistic goals.

York will work collaboratively to decide which approach or combination of approaches fits best based on a person's goals, symptoms, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations; phone sessions can fit into a break at work or when bandwidth is limited; chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep consistent care while balancing daily life.
