About Maria
Maria Richardson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, and supports those facing relationship strain, grief, and shifts in self-esteem. Maria uses straightforward talk and practical steps during sessions.
She helps people name what feels overwhelming and then practices small changes together. Sessions often include simple tools to calm the body and reframe stressful thoughts. She also guides people through life transitions and questions about purpose.
Background and approach
That work can include sorting priorities, rebuilding routines, and identifying values that matter most. Maria pays attention to communication problems and offers ways to express needs more clearly. When grief or loss is present, she helps people pace the work and find coping strategies that fit their life.
For relationship concerns she focuses on improving how people listen and speak to each other, not on giving advice about others' choices. Maria offers sessions in English and Spanish and practices in Florida. She invites people to take the first step and complete a simple matching questionnaire to find a good fit.
CBT and practical online care for anxiety and life change
Maria uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced thinking. CBT sessions often include short exercises and take-home practices that target stress and anxiety symptoms.She works in a practical, goal-focused way and helps clients build everyday skills such as relaxation techniques, thought records, and small behavioral experiments. This approach is useful for relationship worries, low self-esteem, grief reactions, and the uncertainty that comes with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful and doable for the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people fit sessions into busy schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practice work, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging offers shorter check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options give flexibility for different needs and rhythms.
