About Maria
Maria Lozano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Maria uses clear, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered listening and mindfulness practices. Meetings tend to focus on small, doable changes a person can try between sessions.
Her background includes work across mental health and social services with attention to reproductive and perinatal concerns. That experience informs support for postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth-related concerns, and family of origin issues. She also works with people affected by domestic violence and migration-related separation.
In sessions she addresses communication problems, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, somatization, and multicultural concerns. Maria also helps people who are coping with emptiness, self-love challenges, and periods of life transition. Solution-focused techniques and psychodynamic ideas may be used when they fit the client’s goals.
Practical steps are central: identifying patterns, testing new responses, and tracking what changes. The therapist encourages simple breathing and mindfulness exercises when useful. To begin, visitors should confirm session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Maria frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternative responses. CBT breaks problems into thinking, feeling, and doing, and it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by encouraging small experiments between sessions.She also draws on client-centered therapy, which centers on listening and helping a person set their own goals. That approach supports clearer communication and stronger decision making. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help manage intense feelings.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, client-centered methods, mindfulness, or a mix fits their goals and preferences. That plan can change as progress is reviewed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling around work or family obligations simpler.
