Confidential, trauma-informed therapy to help you reclaim balance, self-worth, and meaningful connection.
Hi, I’m Marcelle Little, LMFT, MPH, MA.
I help sensitive, caring adults who feel stuck in cycles of overwhelm, people-pleasing, or relationship struggles. Together, we’ll build the tools you need to feel calmer, more grounded, and connected to yourself and others.

What issues can therapy help me with?
I offer therapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, codependency, people-pleasing, and emotional overwhelm.
My approach is especially supportive for women seeking deeper self-understanding, nervous system regulation, and a more empowered relationship with themselves and others.
Therapy can help you feel more grounded, connected, and clear — no matter where you're starting from.
Do you offer online therapy in California, Florida, and Europe?
Yes. I provide online therapy for clients across California and Florida and virtual therapy for American expats living in Europe, including the U.K.
I’m licensed in California and Florida, and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, making therapy accessible whether you're in San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, or beyond. All sessions are offered via a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.
What is somatic therapy, and how is it different?
Somatic therapy focuses on the connection between the mind and body. It uses body-based awareness and regulation tools to help you process emotions, manage stress, and heal from trauma.
Unlike traditional talk therapy alone, somatic therapy includes mindfulness, movement, breathwork, and nervous system regulation practices to support lasting change from the inside out.
What is EMDR and how does it work?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from trauma and distressing experiences.
Using bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping), EMDR helps your brain reprocess stuck memories and reduce emotional reactivity. It can be especially helpful for PTSD, anxiety, and shifting long-held negative beliefs.
Do you specialize in therapy for codependency and people-pleasing?
Yes. Supporting clients who struggle with codependency, people-pleasing, and boundary issues is a core part of my work.
If you often put others' needs before your own, feel resentment you don’t express, or struggle with self-worth, therapy can help you break old patterns, set boundaries with clarity, and reconnect with your voice and needs.
What happens in a free consultation call?
The free 15-minute consultation is a chance for us to connect and see if we’re a good fit. You can share what’s bringing you to therapy, ask any questions you have, and get a feel for how I work. There’s no pressure to commit — just an open, supportive space to explore whether this feels right for you.
How long are the sessions and how often do we meet?
Therapy sessions are 45 or 50 minutes long, and most clients begin with weekly sessions for consistency and momentum. Depending on your goals and needs, we can adjust frequency over time. All sessions are personalized, collaborative, and designed to meet you where you are.
How do I get started with therapy?
You can get started by booking a free consultation or contacting me directly. From there, we’ll schedule your first session and talk through the next steps. Whether you're new to therapy or returning to it, I'm here to make the process feel grounded, supportive, and clear.
