About Marie

Marie Fors is a licensed marriage and family therapist with ten years of clinical experience. She brings a warm, compassionate, and interactive style to sessions. Marie focuses on practical steps that help people manage stress, anxiety, eating concerns, self-esteem, work issues, and parenting challenges.

Her approach starts with listening carefully to understand each person's situation. She uses a solution-focused mindset to set clear, achievable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are also part of her toolkit, depending on what the person needs.

Background and approach

In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and short-term progress. Conversations are structured to identify small changes that make daily life easier. Marie tailors the pace and techniques to match personal needs and life circumstances.

She often helps clients address workplace stress, forgiveness, and transitions such as career changes. Eating and food-related concerns are an additional focus, approached with practical strategies rather than rigid rules. Marie is licensed in Florida as LMFT FL LMFT MT4075 and also holds Minnesota licensure MN LMFT 2214.

Sessions are offered in English. She guides people through first steps and supports them as they try out new strategies in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Marie commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building trust so people can explore concerns at their own pace. It helps when someone needs acceptance and support to talk through difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause stress or low mood. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, eating-related challenges, and everyday stressors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up to decide which methods to try. That process is collaborative and may combine techniques from different approaches to meet real-life needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between appointments. The variety of formats supports different communication styles and allows gradual steps toward change while keeping care accessible and flexible.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
