Background and approach
Sessions include discussion, skill practice, and short between-session tasks to help new habits stick. Her work commonly addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, substance-related family problems, self-esteem, parenting stress, sleep and eating issues, and career pressure. She also supports people facing trauma, anger, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, grief around abandonment, and the stresses of caregiving.
Maria integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused ideas. She partners with each person to tailor a plan that matches their needs and values. Therapy is collaborative and often combines talk, real-world practice, and messaging between sessions.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish from Florida. Maria describes her therapeutic style as compassionate, direct, and practical, and she encourages active participation to produce change.
Practical approaches for online anxiety and relationship work
Maria often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety and low mood. CBT emphasizes concrete skills and short exercises to shift thoughts and behaviors, which works well for stress, sleep problems, and worry.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings arise. That approach can help with chronic anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Maria will discuss options and decide together which methods match your needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as work progresses so strategies stay relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simple option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing contact between sessions and brief skill coaching when practice or reminders are helpful. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between weekly meetings.
