About Marni

Marni Tartack is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida who uses a pragmatic, evidence-based approach to help people navigate grief, depression, and major life changes.

Background and approach

She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused strategies to address concerns such as low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and difficulties with motivation and confidence. Her background includes work with families managing neurocognitive disorders and experience in geriatric care and case management, which informs her understanding of caregiver stress and end-of-life considerations.

Her therapeutic stance is warm and collaborative, aiming to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions and build practical coping skills. Sessions emphasize pacing that aligns with each person’s readiness, with attention to restoring meaning, improving day-to-day functioning, and reducing symptoms that interfere with life goals.

Marni helps clients identify small, achievable steps and problem-solving tools that support resilience and long-term well-being. Clients seeking assistance with forgiveness, guilt and shame, commitment concerns, social anxiety, or finding life purpose may find her blended CBT and solution-focused methods helpful for clarifying priorities and moving toward concrete change.

She practices exclusively in English and holds Florida licensure as an LCSW.

Practical Approaches for Online Support



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often used to address depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, and difficulties with motivation by teaching concrete strategies to manage thoughts and responses. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes short-term, goal-oriented work that builds on client strengths and recent successes, helping people set clear, achievable steps toward change and improved daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss a client’s goals, preferences, and needs to determine which methods or combination of methods fit best, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access care from different locations within Florida. These formats can accommodate varied schedules and communication styles, allowing clients to engage in therapy in ways that work with their routines while still receiving guidance from a licensed professional.
