About Mari
Mari Broman is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 36 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, self-esteem, career concerns, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, and ADHD. Sessions focus on practical change rather than labels.
She blends straightforward conversation with proven therapeutic tools. Mari draws on client-centered methods to listen and clarify what matters most. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with strong emotions like anger and anxiety.
Motivational interviewing shows up when someone wants to make concrete life changes, such as reducing substance use or shifting workplace habits. Psychodynamic ideas are used selectively to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and self-image.
Mari helps people set small, workable goals. That may mean planning a calmer response to a triggering situation, changing how someone talks about themselves, or practicing short grounding exercises. She keeps sessions focused and practical so progress is clearer between meetings.
Her experience includes work across many life stages, including midlife and aging concerns, caregiver stress, blended family matters, and bereavement. Sessions are conducted in English in Michigan, and international clients are not accepted.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Mari commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation starts with what the client says matters and builds from there; this helps clarify priorities and what change would look like. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting patterns of thought and testing small behavior changes to reduce stress and anger.She also brings mindfulness techniques into sessions to teach brief practices for managing intense feelings and staying present during tense moments. Together, Mari and the client decide which methods to try based on the client’s goals and what feels workable. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits daily life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and let someone continue care without travel. The therapist will discuss which approach and format best match the client's needs and preferences.
