About Mari

Mari Broman is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 36 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, and issues connected to addiction and codependency.

She works with people who are adjusting to life changes, coping with grief, or managing mood challenges including bipolar symptoms. Mari also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, cancer-related distress, and the practical strain of blended family situations. Her approach includes straightforward conversations about patterns that keep people stuck.

Mari draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and center the person’s priorities. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift thought and behavior patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help with stress and emotional regulation.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is stuck about making changes, and psychodynamic ideas are used to look at long-standing relationship patterns and attachment concerns. Sessions tend to be practical, with clear steps to try between meetings and review what worked.

People who book with Mari should expect direct, down-to-earth discussion about goals, coping strategies, and next steps. She asks about daily routines and relationships, then works collaboratively to build more manageable habits and clearer boundaries. If you have questions about formats or scheduling, confirm current session options before booking.

How sessions work

Approaches used in remote sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and experience. The therapist listens closely and helps clients clarify what matters to them, which can be useful for relationship patterns and self-esteem work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms, and it can be useful when someone struggles with people-pleasing or boundary-setting.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and simple practices to calm stress and improve emotional regulation. These techniques are often paired with CBT tasks to manage daily triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and practical needs. That collaboration may shift over time as different skills are tried and reassessed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit meetings into work breaks, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about scheduling preferences and what will work best for everyday life.
