About Mari Carter

Mari Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of experience supporting people facing addiction, unresolved trauma, and grief. She works from the belief that the past cannot be rewritten but each person retains the power to shape how their story ends. Mari focuses on helping individuals reconnect with their voice and sense of choice while guiding them toward healing through development of healthy coping skills and engagement with peer support.

Her therapeutic manner is warm, respectful, compassionate, and non-judgmental. Mari integrates Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to create an approach that is responsive to each person’s unique needs. Treatment plans and conversations are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all, reflecting the individual goals and circumstances of each client.

Recognizing that beginning therapy can feel daunting, Mari aims to encourage and support people as they pursue greater peace, well-being, and resilience. She is committed to guiding clients through change and toward outcomes that feel meaningful to them.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the communication style that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access care from different locations.

Therapists providing remote care are licensed professionals, and if someone does not feel like the right fit they can switch to a different therapist at any time. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible, flexible option to pursue support and growth with a licensed professional.
