About Maria
Her sessions are warm and interactive. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity. Conversations and goals are shaped around each person’s situation so therapy fits real life.
Maria draws on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic ideas, along with humanistic and rational-emotive perspectives. That combination is used to identify patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build clearer ways of relating to others.
In practical terms she helps people spot relationship patterns, manage mood and anxiety symptoms, and work through feelings tied to abandonment or past abuse. She also supports people dealing with family stress, blended family issues, infidelity, isolation, or communication problems.
If someone is ready to start, Maria uses a short matching process to pair them with services and then schedules appointments based on availability. She emphasizes collaborative planning so treatment goals stay relevant and achievable.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Maria integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Sessions often include practical exercises and homework to try between meetings.She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions. That approach helps when people want to understand why they repeat the same dynamics in relationships or feel stuck around attachment concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then pick techniques that fit their situation. Methods can be adjusted over time as needs and priorities change.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which online options are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow a quicker check-in on difficult days, and reduce travel time. Ask about format options when scheduling so sessions work with daily routines and technical needs.
