Marni Tartack, LCSW

Marni Tartack is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people cope with grief, depression, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue and caregivers managing stress. Her work includes attention to aging and geriatric issues and hospice and end-of-life concerns. She describes a compassionate, collaborative approach that aims to make therapy feel safe and straightforward. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps people can take between meetings. Marni emphasizes working at a pace that feels manageable while building skills to handle emotional ups and downs. Her background includes experience in case management and working alongside families caring for someone with a neurocognitive disorder. That practical experience informs how she talks through caregiving burdens, role changes, and the emotions that come with loss or decline in health. Marni uses approaches rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small, concrete changes to improve daily life. She balances problem-solving with attention to feelings and meaning. People who choose her can expect a direct yet warm style. The focus is on short-term strategies and realistic steps toward better functioning and greater clarity. To begin, she asks people to share their current concerns so sessions can be tailored to their needs.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Marni draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people make concrete changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking. It is often used for depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and coping with life transitions.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and what is already working in a person’s life. Sessions focus on achievable goals and quick strategies to improve daily functioning and motivation, which can be helpful for caregiver stress and moving through grief.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. Adjustments are made over time based on what is helping.
