01About Mari
Mari Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and depression. She focuses on concerns like anger, self-esteem, parenting struggles, and relationship strain. Mari works to reconnect people with their sense of choice and voice so they can move forward in their lives.
Mari uses a warm, non-judgmental style in sessions. Conversations are respectful and compassionate. She aims to guide clients toward healthier coping skills and stronger support from peers.
Background and approach
Her work draws on practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, together with Solution-Focused techniques. That lets sessions stay focused on what matters now and on small steps that lead to change. Plans are shaped to match each person’s situation and goals.
In five years of practice she has supported people dealing with drug and alcohol addiction, complex grief, unresolved trauma, and mood or panic challenges. She also pays attention to issues like guilt, shame, and self-love that often sit beneath surface symptoms. Mari practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English.
She encourages people to start with a simple conversation to identify priorities, reduce immediate distress, and map a realistic path forward.

How Mari's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead to build trust and help the person name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then practices different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance; it is useful for strong mood swings, anger, or self-directed harm urges.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist reviews needs, goals, and preferences and then recommends or combines methods. This collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers voice only. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
