Mari Fullmer , LMFT

Mari Fullmer is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 14 years of experience. She works with adults and young adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and life changes. Mari aims to help people feel more grounded and confident as they move through difficult times.

Mari starts by listening to each person's story and noticing their strengths. She treats clients as experts on their own lives and helps them reconnect with what already works. That collaborative tone guides how she plans sessions and sets goals.

Sessions combine understanding with practical skills. Mari uses exercises and tools to build coping skills, improve communication, and shift unhelpful thinking. She also pays attention to how emotions and bodily experiences relate to daily behavior and choices.

Attachment patterns and body image are common topics she addresses. Mari also supports people facing caregiver stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, or questions about life purpose and self-love. Her work often focuses on helping sensitive people use that sensitivity as a strength.

Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered conversation. Those methods guide sessions but are adapted to each person's needs and pace.

Mari practices in California and offers sessions in English. She aims to be an ally in the work toward greater wellbeing and practical change.

How her approaches work online

Mari often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques in sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking actions that match those values, which helps with anxiety, stress, and life direction. Mindfulness practices teach simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus for everyday challenges.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns show up in adult connections. That perspective helps when communication problems or relationship anxiety are part of the concern. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative - she will work with each person to decide what feels most useful based on goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing support, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping the focus on skills, insight, and real-life practice.
