She practices with both warmth and professional focus, creating an atmosphere that is attentive and validating while remaining respectful and nonjudgmental.

Holding LPCC and LMHC credentials - explained as Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she blends evidence-informed methods with strength-based and solution-focused perspectives. Her approach draws on cognitive-behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, mindfulness techniques and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy, all delivered within a client-centered framework that prioritizes each person’s goals and pace.

In sessions she helps clients clarify objectives and explore practical steps toward change, while honoring that the client ultimately directs the course of therapy. Marie’s style is engaging and collaborative, aimed at building resilience and offering tools to navigate life’s transitions and emotional challenges. She encourages anyone taking the step to seek support and stands ready to work alongside them toward clearer emotional wellbeing and improved daily functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Marie Urbina integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative relationship in which the therapist listens closely and supports the client in identifying their own goals and solutions - it helps when someone needs an empathic space to explore their concerns. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and provides practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and calming techniques that can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Marie works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors methods and tools rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Marie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, mobility constraints or geographically dispersed clients. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care and to access support from home, work or while traveling, helping clients fit therapy into their lives more conveniently.
