Marie Fors, LMFT

Marie Fors is a licensed marriage and family therapist with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with eating issues, anxiety, stress, and life changes. She also supports those facing career concerns, compassion fatigue, and questions about relationships and parenting.

Her style is warm, compassionate, and interactive. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than long, abstract discussion. Marie uses a solution-focused way of working and tailors conversations to each person instead of following a fixed script.

In practice she blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want help finding motivation or making shifts in habits. This mix helps with eating and food-related issues, self-esteem, workplace worries, and forgiveness work.

Marie emphasizes collaboration. She works with each person to set short-term goals and measurable steps, then adjusts the plan as progress is made. The aim is to build skills that people can use outside sessions to manage stress and move toward the life they want.

To start, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. Marie practices in Florida as an LMFT, and she provides services in English.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your perspective, giving you space to talk through what matters most and to set the agenda for sessions. It helps when people need a supportive, nonjudgmental place to sort feelings and make decisions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain stress, anxiety, or eating concerns, and then replaces them with practical strategies. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and managing eating-related challenges.

Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change by helping them find their own reasons to move forward and build motivation step by step.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so people can schedule sessions around work or family commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises used in CBT, client-centered conversation, and motivational interviewing to work well in remote sessions.
