About Mari
Mari Broman is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 36 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns. Mari also addresses career shifts, grief, addictions, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues.
Her approach combines practical talking work with reflection on patterns that began in childhood and family life. She uses Client-Centered methods to follow what a person brings, and psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring roles and expectations learned early on. Mari also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Sessions focus on clear, everyday problems and on longer-standing patterns that influence decisions now. She works with people coping with life changes such as divorce, aging, caregiving stress, or major health concerns. Mari also supports those dealing with commitment and communication problems or codependency tendencies.
In practical terms she blends short-term solution-focused steps with deeper reflection when that fits. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to shift behaviors such as substance use or unhealthy routines. The result is a mix of brainstorming, skill practice, and talking about family origins of current struggles.
Mari keeps language simple and action-oriented in sessions. People can expect direct conversation about patterns, concrete tools to try between meetings, and review of what works. To begin, clients follow the site’s sign-up steps and schedule a first session through the matching process.
How her approaches translate to online work
Mari uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what a person brings into sessions, focusing on their immediate concerns and priorities. That approach helps people feel heard and decide which problems to tackle first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides clear, practical tools to test and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during difficult moments.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Mari will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Sessions can move between practical skill work and looking at family patterns that keep repeating. The focus is on finding what works for that person’s everyday life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into a workday, avoid travel time, or use shorter telephone check-ins when needed. Online meetings also make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions, though the specific formats available should be verified during the sign-up process.
