About Maria
Maria Caballero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 22 years of clinical experience. She offers a calm and practical presence for people managing stress, anxiety, grief, or the fallout from trauma and abuse. Maria speaks English and Spanish and focuses on straightforward, respectful care.
Her approach centers on building a trusting relationship first. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person's lead and attachment-based ideas to examine how early relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used to teach concrete skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Maria helps people sort through family problems and family of origin issues, as well as parenting concerns and workplace stress. She also supports those working through immigration-related stress, prejudice and discrimination, and multicultural challenges.
Conversations cover practical steps for sleep, career choices, and coping with life changes. Sessions are individualized. She tailors the dialogue and plan to each person’s needs, combining skill-building with reflective work on deeper patterns.
Treatment can include mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Maria frames therapy as a collaborative effort. She aims to help people build tools they can use outside of sessions, so changes extend into daily life.
How Maria’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Maria often uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the person guides the pace and focus of sessions. That approach helps when someone needs empathetic listening and wants to shape goals together. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is helpful for anxiety, sleep issues, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Maria will discuss options and try techniques that fit a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. She works with clients to adjust methods over time so the work feels relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer different practical advantages. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to continue consistent work while juggling daily responsibilities.
