About Maria
Dr. Maria Humphrey works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or big life changes. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Sessions are straightforward and focused on the person in front of her rather than on labels or quick fixes.
She brings ten years of clinical experience as a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT. That background shapes a practical style that values listening first and helping people find what makes sense for their life. People often come for help with work stress, caregiving strain, grief, or navigating illness and aging.
Her work draws on client-centered principles, which means the person’s goals guide the process. She also uses elements from psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches to help identify patterns and build practical steps forward. Trauma-focused ideas may be integrated when past events continue to affect daily life.
Dr. Humphrey speaks English and Spanish and she pays attention to how culture, family roles, and life stage influence stress and coping. She supports caregivers, people facing end-of-life concerns, and those dealing with immigration-related stress among other issues.
Sessions emphasize problem-solving, clearer communication, and building self-compassion. The focus is on small, usable changes that fit into everyday routines rather than long lists of homework or rigid treatments. If you want a thoughtful listener who helps you create workable next steps, she may be a good fit.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience, so sessions prioritize listening, reflection, and the client’s goals. This approach helps when people need a supportive space to sort feelings about stress, self-esteem, or life transitions. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and life direction; it can be useful for clients questioning purpose or facing big changes. Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns that started earlier in life and how they show up now, which can help with recurring relationship or mood concerns.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which ideas to use and adapts the approach as needs and goals change. Clients help set the pace and focus so therapy fits their situation.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it simpler to continue care when life circumstances shift, while the therapist and client decide together how best to structure appointments.
