About Mari

Mari Broman, LMSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and other hard life moments. She focuses on money and financial issues alongside relationship strain, grief, and changes in work or family roles. Mari writes straightforward goals with clients and focuses on clear next steps.

She has 36 years of practice as a licensed master social worker in Michigan. That experience includes mood disorders, self-esteem struggles, addiction concerns, ADHD, and caregiving stress. Mari pays attention to how life stage and health challenges shape someone’s choices and feelings.

In sessions she listens to what matters most and helps people set small, practical goals. Conversations tend to be direct and collaborative. Clients work through patterns, try new approaches, and track progress between visits.

Mari mixes several approaches to fit each person. She uses client-centered work to make space for personal values. Cognitive behavioral ideas help with changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness supports managing strong feelings in the moment.

Her style aims for clearer decision making and steadier coping. Mari helps people sort priorities, manage money-related stress, and steady relationships after loss or separation. She encourages realistic steps that can be used right away.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Many people benefit from a mix of methods, and Mari commonly uses client-centered work that focuses on the person’s values and priorities. This approach is about listening closely and shaping goals that fit each person’s life.

She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT-style steps can be practical for anxiety, depression, and money-related worry because they break problems into manageable tasks.

Mindfulness therapy is another tool Mari brings in to help with strong emotions and stress. Simple attention exercises teach ways to notice feelings without being swept away, which can help during difficult talks or decision points.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mari will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt methods together. That collaboration helps pick strategies that feel useful and realistic.
