How Mari works
Mari uses a mix of methods to match what each person needs. She blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also shape longer-term goals and insight work.
People often come for help with relationship and family strains, communication problems, codependency, and commitment worries. She also supports those facing health-related stressors such as cancer caregiving, aging concerns, and caregiver burnout. Mari can help people tackle disruptive mood patterns, dissociation, and co-occurring issues.

Approaches that guide online work
Mari commonly blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective so they feel heard and can set goals at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood swings. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice their feelings and respond more calmly. Mindfulness techniques can support stress management, reduce reactivity, and improve attention over time. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process; Mari works collaboratively to choose methods that fit each person's goals, preferences, and life demands. Online sessions offer flexibility in how therapy happens. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation when schedules allow. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping plans, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other commitments.Start online instead of waiting
