Evidence-based techniques and online sessions
Maria describes her practice as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address depression, trauma, relationship problems, and self-esteem concerns. One common approach focuses on building self-compassion and addressing guilt and shame by helping people name difficult emotions and practice alternative self-talk. This method can help with mood shifts and persistent self-criticism.Another approach attends to relationship patterns and communication skills. Sessions explore how past experiences shape current interactions and teach practical ways to express needs and set boundaries. This work often helps with isolation, conflict, and rebuilding trust after separation or loss.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose which techniques to use based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting focus as progress or new challenges appear.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and offer a way to check in during a lunch break or between obligations. For some people, phone sessions mean less bandwidth and a simpler check-in, while video allows visual cues for communication work. Confirm the formats offered when you schedule.
