Marie Urbina, LPCC, LMHC

Marie Urbina is a licensed counselor with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and trauma. She works with individuals who are dealing with parenting strain, career questions, sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem. Marie is a compassionate listener who aims to create a calm, respectful space for people to talk things through.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered methods that follow the client's goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help address unhelpful thinking and develop practical coping skills. Mindfulness practices are offered to build attention and reduce reactivity.

Marie also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck. Narrative therapy helps people reframe difficult stories about themselves and their relationships. Sessions are collaborative - she helps set goals and adjusts methods based on progress and feedback.

Marie holds LPCC and LMHC credentials and has worked in California settings for over a decade. She brings a warm, nonjudgmental manner and focuses on clear, practical steps people can use between sessions. If you want straightforward support for daily stressors or deeper life changes, she guides the process while you set the direction.

To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. The subscription plan can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. Online sessions give space for the client to set goals, and the therapist reflects concerns and priorities back in simple, practical ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches specific tools to change thinking patterns and behaviors, like tracking thoughts and practicing new responses to anxiety or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit best. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts techniques based on the client's goals and preferences.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during short breaks. It also lets people use mindfulness and CBT exercises between meetings to build new habits in everyday settings.
