About Marie
Marie Urbina is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing with 12 years of experience in California. She focuses on common household strains such as stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting pressures, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Marie also lists trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, and career concerns among her main areas of work.
Her sessions take a client-centered direction. She listens for what matters to each person and helps them clarify practical goals. Conversations move at a steady, plainspoken pace. People can expect straightforward reflection, clear feedback, and tools to try between meetings.
Marie uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify patterns that keep problems going and to test new, healthier ways of responding. She draws on mindfulness practices to help calm the body and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings and make changes they actually want to keep.
She also uses narrative and solution-focused elements to reframe difficult experiences and highlight strengths that already exist. That mix aims to give concrete steps alongside chances to process painful events. Sessions often include short skill practices and goal checks to track small changes over time.
Language of work is English. If you plan to book, confirm the current session options before scheduling so you know what formats are offered.
How sessions work
Approaches for online sessions and how they fit into home life
Client-centered work focuses on what the person wants to change and builds sessions around those goals. That means talk is guided by the issues a person names, with practical steps agreed on together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and then tests small experiments to change them; it is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy uses short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and to ground difficult emotions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels useful and try different methods based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy home life and can reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and provide quieter settings or less bandwidth needs depending on the format you choose. Licensed professionals adapt core techniques like CBT and mindfulness to work in an online setting so clients can practice tools between sessions and track small changes over time.
