Background and approach

Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are offered for managing strong emotions and improving regulation. Maria has four years of clinical experience in Michigan. Much of her work has been in community mental health, delivered both online and in person.

That background gives her practical experience with common concerns like trauma, panic, depression, and sleep problems. Sessions often focus on small, concrete changes. She helps parents strengthen routines, supports people navigating life transitions, and addresses issues like grief, relationship strain, and caregiver stress.

She also works with attention and impulse challenges such as ADHD and impulsivity. Maria offers therapy in English and Spanish. Her approach aims to honor each person’s cultural background and daily life demands.

Outside work she enjoys crocheting, puzzles, cooking, and walks with family and her pets.

How approach and format work together online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values, which is useful for anxiety and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-world experiments to reduce symptoms like panic, insomnia, or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current responses and can help with relationship struggles, abandonment concerns, and parenting stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, culture, and daily life. Sessions are practical and team-oriented, with clear goals and steps to try between meetings.

Online formats make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when it matters. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing support between sessions or for those who prefer written communication. These options help therapy fit work, family, and caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on usable skills and steady progress.
