01About Marie
Marie Urbina is a licensed counselor with 12 years of experience who helps people manage anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and major life changes. She uses clear, practical steps and a respectful, nonjudgmental manner so clients feel heard and understood. Marie lists LPCC and LMHC after her name and practices from California.
Marie aims to make sessions straightforward. She listens first, then helps clients set concrete goals. Sessions can focus on sleep, parenting strain, career worries, anger, or coping after trauma and loss.
Background and approach
She also addresses related concerns such as body image, codependency, and caregiver stress. Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive tools that change unhelpful thought patterns. Mindfulness techniques help people slow down and notice what’s happening in their body and mind.
Motivational interviewing can be used when someone feels stuck or conflicted about change. In practical terms, Marie works to turn insights into doable steps. That might mean testing a new thought, trying a short relaxation practice, or planning small behavior changes between sessions.
She uses whatever feels most helpful for the person she’s working with. Beyond one-on-one work, Marie brings experience with trauma, relationship problems, and parenting challenges. She focuses on making therapy useful in everyday life so people notice real differences in how they handle stress and relationships.

04Online support
Practical Approaches for Online Work
Marie uses Client-Centered Therapy to start sessions by listening carefully and letting the client's goals guide the work. This approach focuses on understanding each person's experience and responding with respect and empathy.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and career or relationship worries because it leads to concrete exercises and homework.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on progress and what feels useful.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other for a full-session experience. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter connection is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies, or people who prefer writing. These options increase flexibility and make consistent work more manageable.
