Mari Fullmer, LMFT

Warm, practical therapy for life transitions

About Mari

Mari Fullmer is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who brings 14 years of experience to her work in California. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

Mari aims to help people feel more grounded and confident in themselves and their relationships. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process.

Mari treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them reconnect with strengths they already have. Sessions combine understanding with practical skills so people can make meaningful changes between meetings.

Mari uses a range of approaches, including cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment practices, mindfulness, and attachment-informed work. She pays attention to the whole person, including how thoughts, body sensations, and values interact.

This helps when someone is sorting through motivation, body image, or questions about life purpose. Her work also supports those dealing with pregnancy and childbirth concerns, caregiving stress, and the challenges young adults often face.

Communication problems and building self-love are common focuses in sessions. Mari aims to help clients turn sensitivity into a source of resilience rather than something that holds them back.

People who choose Mari can expect a warm, down-to-earth style. She offers clear tools, gentle curiosity, and a practical focus on what people want to change.

Mari looks forward to helping clients take steady steps toward greater wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then move toward a life that reflects their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. It can help with trust, closeness, and recurring relationship struggles.

Mari works with clients to find the best fit among these approaches and other methods she uses. Figuring out which tools match a person's goals is a joint process. The therapist and client discuss priorities and try strategies that fit the client's pace and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction when helpful. Phone work can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or the camera feels like a barrier. Chat and text sessions are useful for short check-ins, written reflections, or when a quieter format is needed. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
