About Marie
Marie Fors is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with ten years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, approachable style and aims to make conversations feel natural and focused. Many people find her easy to talk with when they are worried about eating, stress, anxiety, or parenting concerns.
She uses a solution-focused way of working to help clients set practical goals and try small, manageable changes. That is often paired with client-centered care where the conversation follows what matters most to the individual.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when unhelpful thoughts and behaviors get in the way of progress. Marie has worked with a range of issues including eating and food-related concerns, workplace stress, compassion fatigue, relationship strain, self-esteem, career changes, and ADHD-related challenges. She helps people break bigger problems into concrete steps they can try between sessions.
She also offers coaching-style guidance when clients want clear, goal-driven support. Her practice combines warmth with an interactive pace. Sessions typically involve talking through immediate goals, practicing new skills, and reviewing what worked.
Marie adapts the plan as needs shift and as clients notice what helps them most. Based in Florida, she provides care in English and offers multiple online session formats. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s life.

How these approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's lead and creating space for what matters most. The therapist listens with curiosity and helps people set priorities based on their own values and concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact; it breaks problems into specific patterns to practice different ways of thinking and acting that reduce stress and improve mood.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Marie will discuss options, try approaches collaboratively, and adjust the plan based on goals and what feels most helpful. That means the approach can shift across sessions as needs change and progress is made.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls work well for full conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief updates, quick tools, or follow-up between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting life and to keep momentum between sessions.
