About Mari
Mari Broman is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 36 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, career questions, grief, addiction, ADHD, and issues around life purpose and transitions.
Mari focuses on concrete problems people bring into sessions. She listens for patterns in relationships, mood, and behavior. She helps people sort priorities, test small changes, and notice what shifts over time.
Her approach pulls from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods. That means conversations that center the client's perspective alongside practical experiments to change unhelpful thinking and habits. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to support clearer choices and steadier emotion regulation.
Mari has worked across many life stages, including midlife changes and aging-related concerns. She addresses family stress, blended family issues, caregiver strain, and serious medical contexts such as cancer when they affect mood and daily functioning.
Sessions tend to focus on problem solving, communication skills, and coping strategies for anger, low self-esteem, or bipolar mood patterns. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, dissociation, codependency, and the fallout of divorce or separation. The work is practical and paced to whatever a person can manage.
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Mari commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person's view and priorities so sessions follow what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and habits affect moods and behaviors, and uses small practical changes to shift those patterns.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice stress and emotional triggers without immediately reacting. Together these approaches offer both exploration of what matters and concrete steps to try between sessions. Deciding which approach to emphasize is collaborative; the therapist and client check what helps and adjust over time to fit goals and capacity.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commuting time. Discuss preferred pacing and structure during the first meeting so sessions can be scheduled to match daily life and practical needs.
