Mari Fullmer, LMFT

Mari Fullmer is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 14 years of experience. She helps adults and young adults who are feeling stressed, anxious, grieving, or stuck in their relationships. Her aim is to help people feel more grounded and confident as they move through life changes.

Mari treats therapy as a team effort. She starts by listening closely to each person's story and strengths. Then she blends understanding with practical steps so progress is both felt and practiced.

Her sessions often include cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thinking. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Mindfulness and attachment-focused work appear when they help a person feel safer in relationships and with themselves.

Mari pays attention to the whole person. That can mean looking at body-based responses, feelings about life purpose, and how beliefs about the self affect everyday choices. She encourages clients to use sensitivity as a strength rather than a burden.

People meet Mari for help with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, communication struggles, and finding direction after big life events. She supports parents facing caregiver stress and those navigating pregnancy and childbirth concerns. Her approach aims to build skills and inner resources that last.

Approaches you can use online

CBT helps people notice patterns of thinking that increase stress or anxiety and then try different, more helpful responses. It is useful for managing daily worry, low mood, and unhelpful habits.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and committed action. It supports people who want to live in line with what matters to them even when difficult feelings show up.

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship experiences affect current connections and emotions. It can be helpful for improving communication and feeling more secure in relationships.

Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest what might help most. Adjustments are made over time so the work fits your pace and needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework support, or when a written reflection helps. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep skills active between sessions.
