More about Maria

Hi,

I like clients to feel as if they are chatting with a friend when in session and feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible.

Be assured that I will provide you with the support and guidance you need to achieve your desired mental health goals.

I have been a therapist for 13 years and do so with compassion, dedication and directness with clients struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues at home, socially or at work. I also help those wishing to increase coping mechanisms when dealing with family/friends who abuse substances (co-dependency).

By offering insightful, practical tools and informative interaction, using primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I will work with you every step of the way to bring about the changes you need to improve your thought processes and emotions.

As I have stated, our work together will be direct and I will collaborate with you to facilitate a program personalized to your needs, helping you to make the necessary advancement you desire in your life. This will not only be talk- therapy sessions on a weekly basis, I will need your active participation through messaging and completing "assignments" to help us recognize your patterns of thoughts and feelings which then drive your behaviors, so that you can adjust and restructure them accordingly.

I also have enjoyed professional experience providing spiritual guidance and reflection to foster personal growth and intimacy with the God of your understanding.

Please, feel free to read the comments my past clients have voluntarily sent in about the results they have had working with me.

I look forward to working together!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Maria is one of the kindest and most supportive people I have ever met and is also capable of dishing out tough love when needed, for which I am very grateful. She is extremely thoughtful, honest, intelligent, sweet, and somehow able to tie together all of the loose ends I bring into each session. She wants me to do well and be the best version of myself I can be at all times, and I can feel her concern for me in each session. She has changed my life for the better, and I couldn't imagine having gotten through this last year without her help and guidance. She is simply amazing, and very human. Thank you!

Before having Mrs. Maria as my therapist, I was depressed, had slow self-esteem, and was in a toxic and psychologically harmful relationship; I even had moments of PTSD due to past trauma of rape. My mind has completely changed, and I have found the joy of life I thought I had lost. I am so grateful that Maria was here through my journey. The exercises she has given me to do are things I will continue to practice in my everyday life. I would 100% recommend Maria as a therapist; she is extremely respectful, hears you out, gives you tools to help your situation, and is an overall "safe place."
