Mari Broman is a licensed social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 36 years of experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, and the everyday challenges of changing life roles.

She uses an individualized style that focuses on what matters most to each person. Sessions include practical tools for coping, clearer ways to communicate, and steps to rebuild self-esteem. Mari often blends short-term strategies with deeper reflection so clients can see change and understand its sources.

Mari draws on Client-Centered Therapy to meet each person where they are and to shape goals together. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Mindfulness practices to reduce stress in the moment. Motivational Interviewing and Psychodynamic ideas may be added when exploring deeper patterns and motivation.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns from career strain and caregiver stress to intimacy issues and bipolar mood challenges. She also supports people dealing with aging, cancer, blended family stress, abandonment, and the effects of dissociation or codependency. Mari emphasizes practical change while attending to emotional meaning.

People who choose her can expect a steady, nonjudgmental presence and clear next steps between sessions. To start, readers should use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How these approaches translate to online work

Mari often uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the client's priorities and create shared goals. This approach emphasizes listening, validation, and shaping the work around what matters most to the individual.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify patterns of thought and behavior that increase stress or low mood. CBT offers concrete skills and exercises that people can practice between sessions to see gradual improvement.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mari will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying short-term, skills-based work first, then adding deeper psychodynamic reflection if it helps clarify patterns.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online options can make it simpler to have regular check-ins, use screen-shared worksheets, or choose a shorter session when time is tight. Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm which online or in-person options are available before booking. Therapists and licensed professionals can adjust methods to match home routines, work breaks, and caregiving demands to help therapy fit everyday life.
