01About Mariama
Mariama Sandifer uses solution-focused and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people find practical ways forward. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor who draws on 14 years of experience supporting young people and adults. Her style is collaborative and strengths-based, with an emphasis on clear steps and tools that people can try between sessions.
She spent 14 years as a nationally certified school counselor in public schools. In that role she supported students and families dealing with academic stress, trauma, and family upheaval.
Background and approach
That time shaped how she notices individual strengths and matches support to each person's situation. In independent practice she continues a straightforward, partnership-driven way of working. Sessions focus on problems such as anxiety, stress, relationship and parenting concerns, anger, and coping with life changes.
She also helps with caregiver stress, commitment issues, divorce and separation challenges, family problems, isolation and workplace difficulties. Mariama favors short-term, practical strategies alongside skill-building for longer-term change. Conversations identify clear goals, try small experiments, and track what helps.
Her aim is to leave people with usable tools and a clearer sense of direction. She practices in Louisiana as an LPC and offers supervision experience as an Approved Clinical Supervisor. People considering therapy are encouraged to ask how her approach can fit their needs and daily routines.

04Online support
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Solution-focused work centers on setting clear goals and testing small changes. It helps when someone wants fast, concrete steps to reduce stress or improve how they handle specific problems. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors together and teach skills for managing anxiety, anger, and stress. Practice between sessions is a common part of this work.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the challenges you bring, and tailor sessions accordingly. That means trying methods that match daily life and adjusting plans as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let people continue consistent work during life transitions. Ask about session length, frequency, and any format details when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your routine and needs.
