About Mari
Mari focuses on understanding each person's story before moving to strategies that help day to day. She uses clear, practical tools to address overwhelming feelings and recurring patterns. Sessions often include talk, skills practice, and planning small steps that feel doable between meetings.
Her background as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) shapes a person-centered style. She combines collaboration with structured techniques to help people feel steadier. Mari pays attention to cultural context and to how past experiences affect present choices.
Therapeutic work may include addressing abandonment, dissociation, communication problems, or the impact of domestic violence as those topics arise. She also supports people navigating divorce or separation, family problems, and first responder related stress.
Mari aims to help people build resilience and clearer communication. The goal is practical relief and better coping, not quick fixes. She encourages clients to move at a pace that feels manageable while learning tools that fit their daily life.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and supports building healthier ways to relate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mari will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. She mixes listening with active planning and adapts techniques to match your goals and everyday life needs.
If you prefer online options, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people avoid travel time. It can also make sessions more accessible when managing caregiver duties, work shifts, or health-related limits. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively through remote sessions, and Mari will help tailor the plan to what works best for you.
