About Maria
Maria Perez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who want help for stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Maria uses practical, goal-focused conversations to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She centers the person's own perspective and strengths when planning steps forward. Sessions focus on clear strategies you can try between meetings as well as on problems to resolve in session.
She often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening and brief solution-focused work. That mix supports identifying thinking patterns, testing new behaviors, and setting small, measurable goals. Maria guides people to break larger concerns into manageable steps and to track what helps.
Typical topics include caregiver stress, communication problems, impulsivity, forgiveness, and building self-love. Maria helps people name specific situations, try different responses, and evaluate what changes improve day-to-day life. The approach is straightforward and action oriented.
People who prefer Spanish can speak in their first language. To get started, viewers are expected to use the site's matching process and scheduling flow to book an initial session. Maria describes clients as the experts on their own stories and works collaboratively from that place.
How Maria uses CBT and brief therapies online
Maria combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered listening, and solution-focused techniques in short, practical sessions. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and then tests new responses through concrete exercises. Client-centered work focuses on listening to the person’s perspective and building on their own strengths. Solution-focused methods aim to set small, realistic goals and notice progress quickly.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maria treats selecting methods as a collaborative decision based on the client’s goals and preferences. She checks in about what feels useful and adjusts strategies as you try them over several sessions.
The site requires using its matching and scheduling flow to arrange online sessions, so confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins, and reduce travel time. It also allows people to use video or other supported formats where available, which can help maintain continuity of care when life is busy.
