More about Mari

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

"You don't get to rewrite your past, but YOU get to decide how your story ends!" My counseling philosophy is the belief that individuals have power, choice, voice. I have five years counseling experience with individuals with addiction issues, unresolved trauma, and grief and loss. I aim to assist individuals in reconnecting with his or her power of choice and voice, as well as, guiding one toward healing through development of healthy coping skills and peer support.

My counseling style is non-judgmental, warm, respectful, and compassionate. My approach to counseling combines Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. No one individual is the same - treatment plans and dialogue will reflect the specific needs of each individual. Taking the step toward healing can be a daunting task, but I hope to encourage you and help you find peace, happiness, and well-being while on this journey. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Reviewed May 2020

I recently sought psychotherapy, and it has been a truly transformative experience. Mari Carter's guidance and support have been instrumental in helping me navigate life's challenges. The safe and non-judgmental space they provide has allowed me to open up and explore my emotions and thoughts. I've gained valuable insights and practical tools to cope with stress and anxiety. I highly recommend Mari for anyone seeking personal growth and emotional well-being.

Mari listens and she doesn't judge me for having hard moments or relapsing into a place I thought I healed from. She's patient and kind.

Mari is a very lovely woman! She’s really easy to talk to, and easy to get along with. I haven’t had a lot of time with her, but this changed my perspective on therapy altogether.

Reviewed May 2023

Mari is a good listener then provides appropriate advice and ideas for how to address problems/concerns you may have. She allows her clients to express their needs and their goals that they want to be able to achieve during their counciling experience. Once she understands your needs/goals then she will work with you to form a treatment plan and she decides what she needs to do in order to provide you with the optimal counseling experience. If for whatever reason she does not have the information that she is being asked for or she isnt sure about something, then she is very willing to do any necessary research online, reach out to her colleagues and find resources outside of this platform in order to obtain and relay the best possible information to you in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend Mari to others that need mental health services.

Working with Mari has been truly life changing for me. I can’t imagine being on this journey without her. I instantly felt a connection to her, and that hasn’t changed a bit over time. I have struggled for years with my mental health and it’s so important to have a safe space to work through the nuance of what that means. Mari is incredibly patient, kind and a great listener. I can’t say enough good things about the tools I’ve picked up along the way. Starting and continuing therapy can be scary, but I’ve learned to put one foot in front of the other and to always be kind to myself along the way. I look forward to continuing to do the work with her alongside me.

Mari has helped me with my anxiety and I would gladly refer her to friends

Reviewed July 2021

Mari Carter is the therapist I’ve been looking for. She is such a strong listen and attentive to my needs. I love how she helps me work through issues and pushes me to find a resolution rather that telling me a possible one. That’s helped me tremendously in doing inner healing work and mental independence. She is available and reliable which is what I need in a therapist! I’ve been working with her for months and I and others see a drastic improvement in my mental health and stability!!

Reviewed March 2020

I’ve just started working with Mari and she’s already had a profound impact on me. I’ve been in and out of therapy for years but I think it’s because I’ve been looking for the right connection to do the work consistently. Mari is the therapist I’ve been looking for! She’s incredibly kind and understanding. She is equipping me with the tools I need to work through my past. She’s funny and very relatable. I would recommend her to anyone and I look forward to the progress I’m going to make with her guidance on my journey. She’s also incredibly responsive to texts, which is great for someone like me who tends to be impulsive and just needs some quick direction on the fly. 5 out of 5 stars for my new and most favorite counselor!
