How Mariama works
That context helps her and the person she is working with figure out why certain difficulties keep repeating. Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk honestly, reflect, and try new ways of coping.
She encourages clients to use their strengths and to take an active role in problem solving. Mariama uses practical tools from evidence-based approaches to help people manage symptoms and develop skills they can use daily. She helps people set small, concrete goals and track progress so change feels realistic and steady.
She also addresses issues like parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and recovery from abuse with sensitivity and care.

Approaches for online support and healing
Mariama draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a welcoming, respectful space where people can talk at their own pace and work toward their goals. This approach emphasizes active listening and helping people build self-awareness and confidence.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of traumatic experiences. This approach looks at how past events affect daily life and uses strategies to reduce their hold on current thoughts, emotions, and behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mariama will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and richer interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, shorter updates, or people who process better in writing. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
