About Mariana
LMFT in Pennsylvania with nine years of clinical experience, Mariana Scutaru focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, LGBTQ issues, intimacy, parenting, self-esteem, career changes, and related struggles. She works in English, Spanish, and Romanian. Mariana uses Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Emotionally-Focused, and Narrative approaches to help people understand patterns and build practical skills.
Mariana believes early emotional experiences shape how people relate to themselves and others. She draws from process-experiential ideas that encourage noticing feelings and sensing what is most authentic. Sessions mix talking about experiences with direct strategies to manage difficult thoughts and behaviors.
Her approach blends understanding and action. People say this looks like exploring relationship patterns, identifying unhelpful thinking, and trying new ways of communicating. She also uses family systems ideas to map roles and interaction cycles that keep problems repeating.
Mariana has worked in community and university settings for nine years and holds a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential in Pennsylvania. Her background includes supporting people after sexual abuse, trauma, and during divorce or separation, as well as those coping with caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
Sessions typically address both immediate coping needs and longer-term growth. Mariana helps people spot attachment wounds, practice clearer communication, and build routines that reduce anxiety and impulsivity. She asks questions, reflects patterns, and introduces CBT-style tools when useful.
To start, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session are used to connect people to her practice. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Mariana’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice responses to closeness and distance, and is useful for relationship strain, attachment issues, and abandonment fears. Client-Centered work centers on careful listening and following the client’s concerns; it supports people in discovering what matters most to them and clarifying goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought-behavior links and teaches concrete strategies for managing anxiety, impulsivity, and mood shifts.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Mariana will review your goals, what feels most pressing, and your preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, so the plan can change as therapy progresses.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please check current options when you schedule. Online work can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to schedule around work or family commitments. Therapists commonly pair exploratory attachment work with CBT exercises during remote sessions to balance inward reflection with actionable steps.
