Background and approach

Maritza also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. Sessions often include learning coping strategies, practicing new ways to think about problems, and building communication skills. She uses methods that center the client and that focus on emotions and relationships when those fit the need.

Therapy is adapted to each person's goals and style rather than forcing one fixed method. Maritza emphasizes respect, dignity, and collaboration in the therapeutic relationship. She aims to earn trust and to work alongside people as they make changes.

People can expect a mix of teaching, talk, and real-world practice during sessions. Her practice also addresses issues like career concerns, parenting strains, ADHD, self-esteem, and multicultural experiences. Maritza views seeking help as a courageous step and focuses on building strength and practical change over time.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy views relationships as central to healing and focuses on how early bonds influence current connections; this can help people who notice patterns in close relationships or struggle with trust. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected first; sessions use reflective listening and collaboration to help people clarify goals and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what helps the most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and work in real time. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, or for people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and try different formats to suit changing schedules and needs.
