About Mari

She guides adults and young adults through stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes with a warm, practical style. Mari focuses on helping people build confidence and feel more grounded in everyday life.
Her approach blends understanding with concrete skills. Sessions combine conversation about what matters to the client with hands-on tools to manage emotions and behavior.
How Mari works
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and mindfulness practices to offer a range of options. Mari pays attention to the whole person. That can mean exploring how the body, beliefs, and sense of purpose connect to current struggles.
She aims to help clients turn sensitivity into a strength and find clearer direction in relationships and personal goals. Communication and collaboration are central to her work. Mari treats the therapy relationship as a team effort where the client’s input shapes the pace and focus.
She emphasizes simple, realistic steps people can try between sessions. Practical issues such as pregnancy and childbirth, caregiver stress, body image, and life purpose are included among areas she addresses. Mari also helps with attachment issues, communication problems, and building self-love and self-esteem.
Her overall emphasis is on helping people feel more peaceful, capable, and connected in their daily lives.

Online support options
How therapy approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clear values and small actions. It helps people accept difficult thoughts while committing to steps that match what matters to them, useful for anxiety and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and communication patterns, and it helps people build more supported ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and pacing, with the therapist offering empathy and support while the client leads the goals and topics.Finding the right approach usually happens together. Mari will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit your situation. She invites collaboration so the work reflects what you want to change and how you prefer to work.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face-to-face when visual cues help; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, timely exchanges and can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain consistency and try therapeutic tools between sessions.
