About Maria
Maria Perez is a licensed mental health counselor in Massachusetts. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and helps them build clearer ways to cope. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on eight years of clinical experience as a Massachusetts LMHC.
Maria frames sessions around the person's own story. She uses straightforward conversation to identify strengths and practical steps. Sessions focus on small, manageable changes that can reduce daily stress and improve confidence.
Background and approach
She blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix helps people talk through what matters most, test out new thoughts and behaviors, and set short-term goals that feel doable. Common topics she addresses include parenting challenges, anger and impulsivity, caregiver stress, communication problems, and struggles with self-esteem or self-love.
She also supports people dealing with attention and focus concerns related to ADHD. Maria aims for a calm, respectful tone in sessions. She invites people to notice their progress and to try practical tools between meetings.
Signing up starts with a short questionnaire and then scheduling a session that fits the person’s life.
Practical approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story, reflect on strengths, and decide what changes feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and building confidence through specific techniques and short experiments. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals and what works now, which can be helpful when someone needs quick, practical shifts.Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then recommend which methods to try first. Sessions can change as progress is made so the plan stays useful and responsive.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people connect face to face, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day and to follow up between meetings. These options provide flexibility to match therapy to a person's schedule and comfort.
