About Maria
Maria Reymundo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical steps people can take to ease anxiety and stress and improve day-to-day functioning. Maria uses a collaborative style so clients feel involved in setting goals and tracking progress.
She blends approaches to match each person's needs, leaning on client-centered work to build a trusting relationship.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try out new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness skills help with emotional regulation and coping when feelings become overwhelming. Maria has worked in many settings, including inpatient psychiatry, community mental health, addiction treatment, internal medicine, and a university counseling center.
That variety shaped her ability to help people managing depression, trauma, adjustment challenges, and mood disorders. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and brings cultural awareness to sessions. In sessions she focuses on skills people can practice between meetings - for example grounding, thought records, or short behavioral experiments.
She also helps people address relationships, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, and family-of-origin issues when those come up. Her approach is grounded in strengths and informed by trauma sensitivity. Maria holds a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago.
She sees clients for video calls, phone visits, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person directs the pace and goals of treatment. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk and to clarify what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches simple tools to test negative thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers short, teachable skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. It is useful when someone wants concrete strategies for coping and staying steady during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice may shift over time as progress is made and new challenges appear.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works with lower bandwidth, live chat allows a shorter check-in, and messaging supports day-to-day coaching or reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family life while maintaining a steady course of care.
