About Marie
Marie Fors is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with ten years of experience. She focuses on practical steps clients can use to feel steadier in daily life.
Background and approach
Her manner is warm and interactive, and she guides people through change with clear, direct conversation. Marie helps people tackle eating and food-related issues alongside concerns like anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem.
She also addresses career and workplace struggles, compassion fatigue, and the ups and downs of relationships. Coaching and support for life transitions are part of her work as well.
Her main style emphasizes solutions and practical goals. Sessions include straightforward talk, goal-setting, and tools to try between meetings.
She adapts the plan to each person rather than using the same steps for everyone. Marie combines client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing.
That mix is useful for changing habits, shifting unhelpful thinking, and finding motivation to make different choices. She keeps work focused and relatable so people leave with something they can use.
She practices in Florida and brings a compassionate, no-nonsense approach to therapy. If someone is ready to make changes, she offers steady support, clear guidance, and help turning intentions into action.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience first and focuses on listening and understanding. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them so sessions stay focused on real goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses simple exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and to build more helpful habits for anxiety, depression, and eating concerns.
Motivational interviewing is a short, conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons to change. It can be useful when motivation feels stuck or when deciding on next steps for career, health, or relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the work stays relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer sessions with face-to-face interaction, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
