About Mari
Mari Broman is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and codependency. She listens carefully and guides clients through relationship struggles, grief, career shifts, and problems with self-esteem. Mari uses practical steps and steady support so people can feel less overwhelmed and more in control.
With 36 years of experience as an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker - she has worked with mood disorders, addiction concerns, and complex life changes. Her background includes attention to aging and geriatric issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and medical challenges such as cancer. That experience shapes how she sees each person's situation and options.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on small, doable steps toward that goal. Techniques come from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas, mixed to fit each person.
Mari emphasizes practical coping tools alongside deeper reflection. She helps people track patterns, rethink unhelpful thoughts, and practice new ways of relating to others. Over time clients often gain clearer choices and increased emotional resilience.
People who come to her can expect respectful listening and direct feedback. Mari works at a pace the client sets and aims to make therapy useful for daily life. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and follow the short matching questionnaire to schedule a session.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own answers; it is useful for self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life decision work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more useful behaviors, which can ease anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences rather than using a single fixed method. Clients can expect the plan to be reviewed and adjusted over time based on what helps.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling, fewer commute demands, and the ability to fit sessions into busy days. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to maintain continuity during life changes and to bring real-life issues into conversation where they happen.
