About Mariano
Mariano Tabone is PACFA credentialed and has eight years of clinical experience in Australia. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. He speaks English and Spanish and frames therapy around the client's own story and strengths.
Mariano believes people already know important parts of their lives. He helps them notice those strengths and use them to move through difficult times. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and building skills that help with everyday pressures. He aims for straightforward conversations rather than technical language.
He regularly helps people who feel stuck after major changes such as separation, career shifts or health problems. Common themes include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. Mariano also works with issues such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and midlife change.
In sessions he encourages clients to name what matters and to try small, testable changes. He offers feedback, strategies and reflection to help people weigh options. The work tends to be conversational and action-oriented, with an emphasis on what can be done between sessions.
Mariano describes taking the first step as an act of courage and supports people through that beginning. He does not promise outcomes but focuses on helping clients clarify next steps and make practical changes that fit their life.
Therapeutic methods and online working
Mariano describes his work using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills, behaviour and clear problem solving. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical techniques for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding and structured coping exercises; these help when emotions feel overwhelming or when daily tasks are hard to complete. Another common strand is workbook-style cognitive work that helps people examine unhelpful thinking, test assumptions and try alternative behaviours to see what changes might help in relationships and mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mariano collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. He offers feedback and adjusts the plan as progress or obstacles become clear, so the approach can change over time as needed.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler for brief updates, while video allows for more conversational interplay and non-verbal cues. Appropriately qualified counsellors can support the same practical work online as face-to-face, with planning to suit each person's day-to-day life.
