Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Maria uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, empathetic partnership that centers each person's values and goals; this approach helps when people need a supportive space to explore identity, relationships, and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is applied to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy is offered to help clients develop present-moment awareness and stress-reduction skills that support emotional regulation and attention.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maria works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress is made. The focus is on practical skills and strategies tailored to each person.
Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer to meet from home or another convenient location.
