About Marie

Marie Urbina is a licensed mental health professional with more than 12 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, and major life changes. She holds LPCC and LMHC credentials - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor - reflecting training in assessment, counseling, and evidence-based interventions. Her background includes work with clients facing depression, addiction, survivors of abuse, OCD, ADHD, career and parenting challenges, and a range of emotional and behavioral concerns.

Her approach is client-centered and strengths-based, blending cognitive-behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed methods to tailor care to each person's needs. Marie aims to create an engaging, attentive, and validating environment where respect and nonjudgment guide the therapeutic process. She collaborates with clients to clarify goals and develop practical skills for coping, improving relationships, managing sleep, addressing anger and self-esteem, and navigating career or life transitions.

Marie emphasizes practical strategies alongside deeper exploration, supporting clients as they build resilience and make meaningful changes. She recognizes the courage involved in seeking support and frames therapy as a collaborative journey toward clearer priorities and more effective coping in daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Marie Urbina integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client's priorities guide each session and the therapist supports personal insight and self-directed change. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress-related patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be helpful for trauma responses, sleep problems, and ongoing worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best given their goals, preferences, and daily life, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in treatment choices and focused on meaningful outcomes.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain ongoing support between in-person visits if needed, and access licensed professionals from different locations while preserving continuity of care.
