How Mari’s approaches translate to online work
Mari draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space where people can be heard and develop their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs steady support while sorting out values, goals, or relationship patterns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management because it focuses on practical steps and measurable progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mari will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That conversation helps shape session goals and homework so work in therapy connects to everyday life.
Confirm the therapist’s current session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to attend while managing work or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to work well in remote sessions.
