She focuses on helping people find practical ways to manage stress, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem struggles. Maria speaks English and Spanish and provides therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.

She works with people facing trauma, grief, substance concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges related to ADHD or bipolar disorder.

Maria is familiar with multicultural and prejudice-related stressors and with gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns. Her approach blends existential ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral tools.

Sessions tend to focus on what matters now, identifying strengths, and building small, doable steps toward change. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when clients want concrete goals and quick strategies. Maria aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can name what’s hard and test new ways of handling it.

She often helps clients break big problems into manageable tasks, build confidence, and plan for life changes. Her style is straightforward and hopeful, focused on practical next steps. Clients who prefer working in Spanish may choose sessions in that language.

International clients may be seen through remote formats. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Maria blends existential therapy with client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. Existential therapy helps people look at meaning, choice, and values when life feels uncertain, and can be useful for grief, life transitions, and finding direction. Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening and empathy, giving people space to be heard and to build trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to use existential reflection, problem-focused CBT, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused techniques depending on the issue and the pace the person wants.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let conversations feel close to face-to-face and work well for deeper sessions. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to send quick updates, try short coaching prompts, or keep momentum between sessions. These formats can help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity across locations.
