Mari Fullmer , LMFT

Mari Fullmer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of professional experience, licensed to practice in California and Michigan. She works primarily with adults, young adults, and highly sensitive people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief and loss, or challenges in motivation, self esteem, and confidence. Her work aims to help clients feel more grounded, peaceful, and empowered in their relationships and daily life.

Mari emphasizes the strengths each person already carries and treats clients as the experts of their own stories. Her role is to help reconnect clients to those strengths and to build new resources for managing life’s challenges. Therapy with Mari blends insight and understanding with practical skills and actionable steps, and she frames the work as a collaborative process without a one-size-fits-all approach.

Her clinical toolbox includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy. As a holistic practitioner she often explores the mind-body-spirit connection to bring additional perspective to symptoms and to help clients clarify deeper life purpose. Clients describe her as warm, compassionate, playful, and relatable, and she aims to help people harness sensitivity as a strength rather than a limitation.

Mari focuses on a range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self esteem, and coping with life changes, with additional attention to attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, life purpose, pregnancy and childbirth, self-love, women’s issues, and young adult concerns. She offers supportive, skills-based therapy that honors the whole person and their unique path forward.

Could Remote Therapy Be the Right Fit?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly make a difference. For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One of the primary benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to incorporate care into a busy life.

Licensed professionals provide these services, and clients may switch therapists if they seek a different fit. For those weighing options, online therapy can offer a practical, accessible way to engage with skilled therapists while prioritizing what works best for their schedule and preferences.
