How her approaches adapt to remote sessions

Maria commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on each person's priorities and concerns. This approach involves active listening and reflecting so clients can sort through feelings and options, which helps with stress and life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT offers concrete tools and short exercises that translate well to remote sessions and help manage anxiety symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Maria will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. That means trying techniques, reviewing how they feel, and adjusting the plan as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.
