About Maria
LCSW, California, 4 years of experience. Maria Sanchez helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adult clients on practical coping strategies and emotional support.
Maria focuses on clear, moment-to-moment work in sessions. She encourages people to name what they are feeling and to try simple, manageable steps between appointments. Her approach centers on listening, reflection, and helping clients find small changes that make daily life easier.
She also addresses longer-term concerns that affect daily routines, such as chronic illness, caregiving strain, and aging-related issues. Sessions may include discussion of how symptoms interact - for example when chronic pain and depression occur together - and ways to reduce their impact on functioning.
Maria brings four years of professional experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She aims to help clients clarify values like life purpose and self-acceptance, and to work through topics such as forgiveness and self-love in concrete terms. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to accommodate bilingual clients.

How evidence-based methods fit into online sessions
Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One common approach involves teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and short behavioral experiments to test anxious predictions. These techniques help people regain control over daily reactions and lower distress in specific situations.Another approach emphasizes mood management for depression. This involves planning small, achievable activities, tracking mood and activity links, and experimenting with routines that boost engagement. The work is conversational and goal-oriented, aimed at reducing the grip of low mood on everyday tasks.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Maria will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust course if something is not a good match.
