About Mari
Mari Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, addiction, grief, and related concerns. She focuses on helping clients regain choice and voice in their lives and build healthier coping skills. With five years of counseling experience, Mari often works with people facing substance use problems, unresolved trauma, and mood or panic symptoms.
She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, self-esteem challenges, and recovery after sexual assault or other abuse.
Background and approach
Mari’s style is warm, respectful, and non-judgmental. Sessions aim to be practical and focused. She listens first, then helps clients set small goals and try skills that fit their daily lives.
She uses a mix of approaches to meet each person’s needs, including client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Plans and discussions are shaped around individual goals rather than a one-size-fits-all method. People can expect a supportive space to talk through painful events, reduce overwhelming reactions, and practice new ways of coping.
Mari encourages steady progress and looks to strengthen self-respect, self-love, and the ability to manage difficult emotions over time.

How Mari’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers empathy, and helps people clarify what they want to change or keep. This approach suits anyone who needs a supportive space to make decisions and regain confidence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps with anxiety, panic, depression, and anger by breaking problems into smaller steps and trying new reactions in real life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mari will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which strategies to try. The process is collaborative, and plans are adjusted based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice skills in conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, coaching between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on progress and practical coping skills.
