About Mari
Mari Broman is a licensed master social worker with 36 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, career concerns, addictions, and relationship or family conflicts. Her work is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable.
Mari centers sessions on what the person needs right now. She listens first, then helps people identify patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Together they try small, doable changes so progress feels real and steady. Her approach draws on client-centered work that respects each person's pace and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones.
Mindfulness strategies are woven in to help people stay present when emotions run high. Over decades of practice she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including grief, caregiving stress, ADHD, and mood disorders like bipolar. She pays attention to how life transitions - such as divorce, illness, or aging - affect emotions and choices.
Mari aims to make sessions collaborative and focused on practical skills. People leave with clearer steps to handle anger, improve communication, and manage daily stress. She practices in Michigan and offers several online formats for sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. The therapist provides a respectful, nonjudgmental environment and follows the client's lead. This style helps people who need space to sort feelings and decide what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Sessions use practical exercises to notice unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding, which can be useful for anxiety, anger, and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they react to different methods. Together they decide on a plan and adjust it as needed so therapy feels useful and tailored.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper interaction helps. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief, focused conversations. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around life and work.
