About Mari
Mari Broman is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) who has practiced in Michigan for 36 years. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family concerns, and issues linked to addiction, ADHD, grief, and life changes. She also lists work around intimacy, bipolar mood concerns, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions tend to center on what is happening now and what changes feel realistic. She draws on a mix of methods to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and build manageable skills one step at a time.
Mari uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen for each person’s priorities and to shape conversations around their goals. She brings elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice feelings without getting swept away by them.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people want to make a concrete change, and Psychodynamic Therapy to look at recurring patterns that trace back to earlier relationships. That range supports work on abandonment, attachment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
Practical concerns are part of the work. Sessions can include skill-building, problem-solving, and looking at how past experiences influence present choices. To begin, the process asks people to name what matters most now and to set small, achievable steps toward that aim.
How Mari’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. Online sessions can use that same emphasis on what matters now and shape each meeting around immediate concerns and goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavior changes. This approach works well over remote sessions because it often uses short exercises and homework that can be reviewed between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing present-moment experience without judgment. Online meetings can include brief guided attention exercises and checks on how those practices fit into everyday routines.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can shift as issues change or as people try different techniques.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time, helping people keep therapy consistent with daily life.
