About Mari
Mari Hall is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in North Carolina with four years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Mari also supports concerns around parenting, relationships, grief, intimacy-related issues, and mood disorders such as bipolar.
Mari uses straightforward, person-focused methods in sessions. She listens for patterns in relationships and attachment and helps clients notice how thoughts and behaviors interact. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to try practical changes and uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Her approach includes client-centered work that prioritizes what each person brings to therapy. Mari explores past experiences that affect current relationships, including abandonment and attachment concerns. She also helps with communication problems, caregiver stress, and the effects of dissociation or co-morbid conditions.
Mari often focuses on concrete skills alongside reflection. That can mean practicing new ways to respond under stress, refining communication habits, or developing short-term solutions for pressing problems. She also attends to longer-running patterns that shape mood and relationship dynamics.
People who contact her from diverse backgrounds can expect practical, clear sessions that aim to reduce overwhelm and increase coping options. Sessions are available to people in North Carolina who prefer to work in English and who want a direct, relational style of therapy.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape present patterns. It helps people notice how attachment needs and fears influence closeness and conflict in adult relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and tolerating distress while improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as needs change, keeping the process collaborative and focused on what helps day to day.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use tools from CBT and DBT during sessions, such as reviewing thought records or practicing grounding and breathing exercises in real time.
