York Marlowe , LPC, LPCC

York Marlowe is a licensed mental health professional with eight years of experience supporting people through a wide range of challenges. He holds LPC and LPCC credentials - LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and LPCC indicates Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and is licensed to practice in Minnesota and Wisconsin. York has worked with clients of all ages on concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting difficulties, trauma, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

He approaches therapy as a collaborative process, selecting interventions to fit each person’s unique needs and goals rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Much of his specialized training centers on trauma treatment; he is certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and uses that method to address post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and specific phobias. In addition, York is a certified Anger Management Therapist and brings extensive experience in helping people manage emotional dysregulation.

Beyond clinical work, York enjoys spending time with his wife and their two cats. He pursues hobbies that include hiking, bowling, reading, playing video games, and engaging in chess. These interests inform his grounded, relatable style in session and his commitment to practical, skills-based support.

Trauma-focused approaches and online care options

York combines evidence-based methods with a trauma-informed perspective to address symptoms and build coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a structured approach for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity, and it can be effective for post-traumatic stress, phobias, and related anxiety. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers the impact of traumatic experiences, working to improve safety, regulation, and relationships while addressing trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work York emphasizes in sessions. He will partner with each person to explore which strategies best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust treatment over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access licensed professionals from varied locations, maintain continuity of care through life transitions, and use formats that support individual communication styles.
