About Maria
Maria Caballero is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and address practical problems like sleep, grief, and workplace issues.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Maria also draws on attachment-based and client-centered methods to focus on relationships and current concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness strategies are incorporated when clients need concrete tools for emotional regulation and grounding.
In sessions she listens to what matters most and then suggests specific steps to test and change patterns. That can include small behavior experiments, thought records, or practicing new ways to talk about conflict. Homework is presented as short, doable tasks to try between meetings.
She has long experience working with trauma-related issues, including sexual assault and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and multicultural concerns. Maria also addresses family of origin issues, immigration-related stress, prejudice and discrimination, and forgiveness work where relevant.
Her style is straightforward and focused on measurable changes people can try right away. Parents find concrete strategies for managing overwhelm and improving sleep. People dealing with midlife shifts, career strain, or compassion fatigue get step-by-step coping ideas.
How Maria uses structured approaches online
Maria frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy online to help people break down anxious or negative thinking into specific, testable steps. CBT sessions focus on identifying patterns, practicing short experiments, and assigning brief exercises to try between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how current relationships reflect earlier patterns and to practice new ways of relating that reduce reactivity. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for the client to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and helps clarify goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods match their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift or new challenges emerge.
