Marla Maccia, LCSW, is a New Jersey licensed therapist who specializes in helping children and adolescents thrive through compassionate, evidence-based teletherapy at Holistic Counseling Solution. Marla works closely with kids, teens, and their families to navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, behavioral concerns, and family dynamics, providing support that feels both practical and genuinely caring.

With over a decade of experience in schools, hospitals, and outpatient settings, Marla understands how overwhelming it can feel for both parents and children when emotions, behaviors, or life transitions become difficult to manage. She partners with families to create a supportive, structured path forward, helping children build confidence, improve emotional regulation, and develop healthier ways to cope.

Marla’s approach is warm, engaging, and tailored to each child’s developmental needs. She uses evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to help children and teens express themselves, feel understood, and make meaningful progress. Marla incorporates parent and caregiver collaboration when clinically appropriate to help extend growth and consistency beyond the therapy space.

Through Holistic Counseling Solution, Marla provides virtual therapy across New Jersey, making high-quality mental health support accessible and convenient for busy families. Her goal is to help children feel more confident and in control, while giving parents the tools and reassurance they need to support their child’s emotional well-being.
