About Mariano
Mariano Tabone is a PACFA counsellor with eight years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Mariano speaks English and Spanish and works from Australia. He invites people to take a first step toward a more fulfilling life and offers steady support through that change.
Mariano's approach begins with listening. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are straightforward and practical, aimed at clarifying problems and finding workable steps forward.
He commonly helps people sort attachment and abandonment issues, deal with guilt and shame, and negotiate communication and control problems. He also supports those facing life transitions such as divorce or a midlife crisis, and people coping with chronic pain, illness or caregiving stress.
Mariano blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tackle anxiety, trauma recovery and relationship challenges. He focuses on helping clients reframe stressful thinking, build emotional awareness, and practise new ways of relating. Progress is measured in small, practical changes that fit into everyday life.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Mariano emphasises collaboration and aims to make each session feel relevant and manageable.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Mariano uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One approach he draws on helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and depressive moods; it focuses on noticing thoughts, testing them, and trying alternative behaviours. Another common technique concentrates on trauma recovery by helping clients process difficult memories at a safe pace and build coping skills to manage strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mariano will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and comfort level. He explains options, checks in about progress, and adjusts the plan as therapy continues so it stays useful and realistic.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins during a break, or let someone use a session without being on camera. Talk with Mariano when you start to find the approach and format that suit your schedule and day-to-day demands.
