About Mari

Mari Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings five years of clinical experience supporting people navigating addiction, unresolved trauma, and grief. She focuses on helping individuals reclaim a sense of choice and voice after difficult experiences, guiding them toward healing through the development of healthy coping skills and connection with peer support.

Her counseling style is warm, respectful, compassionate, and non-judgmental, creating space for clients to explore painful emotions at their own pace. Mari combines Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build practical strategies and promote meaningful change. Treatment plans and conversations are tailored to each person, recognizing that no two journeys are the same.

Mari aims to encourage hope, resilience, and greater well-being while clients take steps toward recovery and growth. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, LGBT issues, relationship and family challenges, parenting, anger, and self-esteem, along with related focus areas like co-morbidity, mood disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, and women's issues. Mari looks forward to supporting clients as they move toward a more peaceful and empowered ending to their story.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change; it is often useful for addiction, substance use, and readiness to adopt healthier behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clients' strengths and small, achievable steps toward preferred outcomes, which can help with stress, relationship challenges, and building coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Mari works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time much like other licensed professionals do in clinical practice.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and daily life. These formats increase access to care, allow continuity when travel or time constraints arise, and let clients engage in therapy from locations that feel most comfortable to them.
