About Mariama
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience, Mariama Samateh focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationships, parenting and related concerns. She works with people facing grief, mood disorders, addictions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English, Bambara and Wolof, and she accepts international clients.
Mariama frames presenting issues within the wider system people belong to. She views individual struggles as connected to family, cultural, and social patterns. That means she asks about relationship history and household dynamics early on to spot repeating patterns that keep problems active.
Her methods include client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused therapy. In practice she helps people name what is happening, test new responses, and build small, realistic steps to change. She uses structured tools from CBT alongside conversations that follow the client's priorities.
Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and practical coping skills. Mariama encourages honest discussion, responsibility, and the use of personal strengths to move forward. She helps clients identify the why and how of their difficulties so they can choose strategies that fit their life.
People who come to her often want clearer communication, relief from anxiety or depression, or help after loss or traumatic events. She supports parents working through parenting strain and individuals dealing with separation, immigration issues, or family conflict. To begin, clients follow the site's intake flow and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In online sessions this looks like open conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead and reflects what she hears to increase clarity and self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT can include brief skill teaching, homework between sessions, and checking progress each week, which helps with anxiety, depression and coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of early sessions. Mariama will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense based on goals, history and preferences. That might mean a mix of client-centered listening and structured CBT tools, or more trauma-focused techniques when needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during the day, or letting people choose whether to use video or a lighter-contact option when available. These practical benefits help sessions become an adaptable part of everyday routines without promising a particular format.
