York Marlowe , LPC, LPCC

York Marlowe is a licensed counselor with about eight years of experience in the mental health field, offering clinical work across Minnesota and Wisconsin. He holds both LPC and LPCC credentials - LPC meaning Licensed Professional Counselor and LPCC meaning Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and brings focused training in trauma therapy to his practice.

He has worked with clients of all ages on a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting challenges, trauma, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. York approaches therapy as a collaborative process, selecting interventions based on each person's individual needs and interests rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

His specialized training includes certification in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and he applies EMDR for conditions such as post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and specific phobias. He is also a certified Anger Management Therapist with extensive experience addressing emotional dysregulation. Outside of his clinical work, York spends time with his wife and their two cats and enjoys hiking, bowling, reading, video games, and playing chess.

Trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches online

York Marlowe integrates several evidence-based methods into online work to address trauma and related concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside structured recall to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge - it is often used for post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and phobias. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding how traumatic experiences affect emotions and relationships and uses targeted interventions to support recovery and resilience.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. York works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting techniques as therapy progresses so the plan fits each person's needs.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access licensed professionals from home or other locations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style while allowing therapists to deliver focused, consistent care across different formats.
