About Mara
Mara Dubois is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with 24 years of clinical experience. She lists stress, anxiety, LGBTQ+ related issues, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence among the concerns she helps people address.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. Clients can expect a calm speaker-listener exchange where feelings and thoughts are talked through without judgment. Mara encourages small steps and clear goals rather than big promises about outcomes.
Over two decades of work have included a range of mood and behavior concerns. She also works with issues such as addiction, relationship and intimacy-related problems, eating concerns, parenting stress, and career transitions. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, dissociation, and coping with life changes.
Mara draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. That can mean looking at how patterns of thinking and behavior influence day-to-day choices, practicing new ways of responding in social situations, or developing coping skills to manage intense feelings. She aims to help people build practical habits they can use outside of sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. The first step is a brief matching process and scheduling a session so goals and fit can be discussed directly.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
She works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thinking patterns, behavior change, and coping skills. Cognitive approaches look at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and can help with anxiety, low mood, and self-critical thinking. Behavioral strategies focus on practicing new responses and actions, which can be useful for social fears, avoidance, and building confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and adjust methods over time. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tested and changed based on what helps most in everyday life.
