About Mari
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with five years of clinical experience. Mari Carter helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, and self-esteem issues. She also focuses on co-morbidity, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, mood and panic disorders, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, self-love, and women’s issues.
Mari works directly with each person to restore a sense of choice and voice after painful events. She encourages development of practical coping skills and connection to peer support. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to what is most helpful right now.
Her methods include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She combines these approaches to match the needs of the person in front of her rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Mari frames treatment plans around concrete steps people can try between sessions. That may include skill practice, behavior experiments, brief written exercises, and checking progress against agreed goals. She emphasizes building sustainable coping strategies and reducing behaviors tied to addiction or mood instability.
Mari practices in Tennessee as an LPC. Sessions are conducted in English. The practice does not accept international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s concerns. It helps people feel heard and supports exploring choices and personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and panic symptoms. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and can be useful for substance use and ambivalence about recovery.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mari will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with motivation-focused conversations, shifting to skills practice with CBT, or adding DBT strategies for emotion regulation.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. The therapist and client will discuss practical arrangements and choose formats that best fit daily life and goals.
