Many people who come to her are dealing with family of origin issues, immigration-related stress, or workplace pressure. She also addresses forgiveness, multicultural concerns, and the lasting effects of past sexual assault and abuse when clients bring those topics up.

How attachment, CBT, and mindfulness translate to online work
Maria uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early family roles and expectations affect present relationships. In conversation she helps clients notice patterns learned in childhood and consider different ways of relating in adult life.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments. This approach is helpful for anxiety, sleep struggles, and everyday mood challenges. Mindfulness practices are offered to build attention and reduce reactivity, such as short breathing exercises and noticing exercises that fit into daily routines.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist and client will review goals, try methods, and adjust plans together. That collaborative process helps determine whether attachment work, CBT tools, or mindfulness practices feel most useful for the person's situation.
