About Maria
Maria Rojas is a bilingual mental health counselor based in Florida. She holds a Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential and brings eight years of clinical experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for everyday life.
Her approach is collaborative and client-centered. Maria focuses on helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck, learn ways to calm strong emotions, and practice new skills between sessions.
Background and approach
Conversations are grounded in real problems like relationship strain, caregiving stress, and trouble sleeping or concentrating. She supports adults dealing with depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges linked to attachment and abandonment. Maria also addresses social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, and the isolation that can follow difficult life events.
Therapy includes work on communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, and rebuilding self-worth. Sessions may involve short skill-building exercises, guided reflection, and practical planning for day-to-day challenges. Maria encourages small experiments outside sessions so people can test what helps.
She explains techniques clearly and adapts them to each person’s situation. People who choose her often want a direct, respectful therapist who listens in both English and Spanish. The first meetings focus on what matters most now and on simple steps to reduce anxiety and regain a sense of control.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills people can use right away. Cognitive behavioral methods help identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behavior patterns that fuel anxiety and depression. These methods are useful for social anxiety, panic, and everyday worry by teaching concrete ways to challenge thoughts and try new actions.Mindfulness-based strategies are another part of her work, teaching simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These tools can help with stress, emotional overwhelm, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress by offering ways to settle the body and notice thoughts without getting pulled in.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to figure out goals and preferences, then try techniques that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy here can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging let people check in between appointments, and text can fit short updates or quick coping reminders. These options offer flexibility to work around work, caregiving, and daily life.
