Marie Urbina, LPCC, LMHC

Marie Urbina is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and big life changes. She brings 12 years of experience and aims to make therapy feel approachable and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that can fit into everyday life.

People come to her for many concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, sleeping problems, career stress, and self-esteem struggles. She also works with issues like caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and aging and geriatric issues. Her background includes long-term work with diverse client needs across these topics.

Her style is warm and attentive. She listens without judgment and helps people name what matters most to them. Treatment emphasizes strengths and practical steps rather than long talks without direction.

Marie uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, narrative techniques, and motivational interviewing are part of her toolkit. Sessions are client-centered, so the client helps guide the goals and pace.

She holds LPCC and LMHC credentials and practices in California. Sessions are arranged through an online matching and scheduling process. To begin, a short questionnaire helps connect a person to appropriate scheduling options and next steps.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist offers support and reflection while the client decides goals and the pace of work. This works well for people who want a respectful, collaborative space to clarify what matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and uses practical exercises to change them. It is often used for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and mood-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve calm during stressful moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they check progress and adjust techniques when something isn't helping.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit consistent sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow sessions during a work break, or make scheduling simpler across different regions. Session formats for this therapist are arranged through the platform's scheduling and matching process, so confirm current session options before booking. The goal is to create a plan that fits everyday routines while focusing on clear steps toward better daily functioning.
