About Maria
Maria Cascarino is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works mainly with stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression and career concerns. Maria uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice how thoughts, feelings and actions interact.
Maria takes a direct, practical approach in sessions. She helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Then she works with them to try small, manageable changes and build skills that can ease symptoms day to day. Sessions are conversational and focused on concrete steps rather than long theoretical explanations.
She has experience supporting people with panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia, body image concerns, self-love and women's issues. Workplace issues and procrastination are also areas she addresses. Maria explains techniques clearly and uses CBT tools to break problems into smaller pieces that are easier to work on.
People who prefer structured sessions with clear tools and homework often find CBT-style work useful. Maria encourages regular review of progress and adapts techniques as needed. She emphasizes practical skills people can use between sessions to reduce symptoms and regain a sense of control.

How CBT is used in online sessions
Maria uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) online to help people spot links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT sessions typically involve setting clear goals, trying concrete strategies and reviewing progress. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and self-esteem concerns.In sessions she will work collaboratively to test ideas and choose techniques that fit the client's needs. The therapist and client plan homework tasks together and review what did and did not help. That process helps decide which methods to keep or change as therapy continues.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping therapy consistent when travel is difficult. Please confirm the exact session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors who use CBT, often find remote sessions useful for ongoing skill practice and brief check-ins that slot into everyday life.
