About Maria
Maria Bedoya is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue. Maria also pays attention to concerns related to domestic violence, immigration matters, self-love, and issues common to young adults.
She favors practical, goal-focused conversations that identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions aim to notice what keeps a problem going and to try new ways of responding. Maria uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches to keep work concrete and actionable.
Maria blends short-term strategies and step-by-step skills practice with space to talk through feelings. That can include setting specific goals, planning small experiments, and tracking what helps between sessions. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when a clear next step is the priority.
Her background includes community and professional settings in Florida over more than a decade. Maria speaks both English and Spanish and draws on that experience when clients raise immigration-related stress or cultural concerns. She describes herself as Latinx and as someone who grew up in Florida.

How therapeutic approaches are used in remote sessions
Maria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. CBT sessions often include short experiments, thought records, and planning small behavior changes that can be practiced between meetings.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can clarify goals and priorities. Mindfulness Therapy is used to develop simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support calmer decision making.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Maria collaborates with clients to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress or new concerns emerge.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are conducted. The online approach can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. If you prefer step-focused work, remote sessions can support homework review, skills practice, and progress tracking without needing to come into an office.
