About Mabel
Mabel is dedicated to guiding people through healing from trauma, persistent negative thoughts and the pain that often accompanies life transitions. She founded Meraki Therapy as an expression of that commitment - Meraki is a word that speaks to bringing creativity, soul and passion to one’s work, and she applies that spirit to the therapeutic process.
In the first sessions Mabel focuses on uncovering the root issues that are interfering with a client’s wellbeing, creating space for honest storytelling without judgment. She aims to be approachable and easy to talk to so clients can feel comfortable sharing their experiences.
Her primary method is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-informed approach that often includes practical exercises and between-session assignments designed to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mabel currently offers telehealth appointments, including phone sessions and live chat, and maintains a responsive communication style, typically replying within 24 hours to support transparent collaboration and a strong therapeutic alliance.
Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Care
Mabel draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by using practical strategies and exercises that can be practiced between sessions - it often helps with anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward personal values - it can be useful for coping with life changes and persistent emotional pain. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Mabel works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds. This shared process helps shape a treatment plan that feels practical and personally meaningful.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are scheduled and delivered. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, clients can access consistent care from licensed professionals without rearranging major parts of their day. These options make it easier to maintain momentum in therapy and to engage in support that fits real-life routines.
