About Marie
Marie Urbina is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of experience in California. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career decisions, and coping with life changes. Sessions are described as client-centered and goal-focused.
Marie uses straightforward methods to help people notice patterns that come from their family of origin. She draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Her style emphasizes respect and a nonjudgmental attitude while helping people clarify practical goals. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help sorting through ambivalence and building momentum for change. Narrative techniques can help people reframe stories they tell about themselves and their relationships.
Marie has worked across a wide range of concerns, including issues related to abandonment, attachment, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, codependency, communication problems, and commitment worries. She integrates solution-focused ideas to set achievable steps during sessions.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Marie uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's priorities and goals. This approach means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and change thought and behavior patterns that contribute to stress and anxiety. CBT provides practical exercises and clear steps that can be practiced between sessions to manage symptoms and test new ways of responding. Mindfulness Therapy is used to develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult emotions or memories. Short practices and simple attention skills are taught and reviewed during sessions to help with sleep, anxiety, and anger regulation. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to select methods that fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the original biography does not list specific session formats. Ask about the available formats when you schedule so sessions can be arranged to fit work, caregiving, and daily routines. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.Areas of expertise
