Hello! My name is Mariana Lopez-Martinez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Michigan. I have experience working with adults who may be struggling with issues like anxiety, lack of motivation, depression, or trauma. My goal is to provide you with a safe and non-judgemental environment to help you find a path towards healing and growth.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect to go over paperworky stuff for the first session, like consents, confidentiality and policies. Then, we'll talk about what brings you in for therapy so that we can come up with small goals. You can expect me to give you my full attention- I want to understand you and your situation so we can come up with strategies to get you where you want to be!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I can provide tailored therapy services unique to each client's specific needs. I strive to make a true connection with my clients.I want my clients to know that they are being heard and they are not alone in their struggles-They are the best resource on themselves, but together we will work as a team to overcome their challenges.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Change and improvement is always possible. I use this treatment approach for clients who are trying to reach a goal or overcome a particular problem. We'll focus on the present and hopes for the future. We'll then identify your strengths and take an active approach to identify goals and small consistent steps that can bring positive change.
Motivational Interviewing
I have been using Motivational Interviewing for the past 6 years. It's helped many clients who struggle with motivation to make changes such as quitting smoking, substance use, weight loss and other behaviors which can have a negative effect on health. Change is not easy and it's not linear-My goal is to provide an understanding, supportive and empathic environment to guide you through the ups and downs.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand how your thoughts, emotions and behaviors are influenced by each other. I empower you to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, replacing them with healthier beliefs and behaviors.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic theory is used in treatment to find habits of the mind that influence thoughts, emotions and behaviors so that you can achieve personal growth and emotional healing.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation is used in our therapy sessions to provide you with evidence-based education about your mental health, treatment options, and coping strategies. In sessions, I empower you to better understand experiences and develop practical skills to manage symptoms and improve your overall well-being.
