About Maria

Maria Lozano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and compassion fatigue. She also supports concerns like relationship strain, family problems, low self-esteem, postpartum mood issues, and multicultural stresses. Maria speaks English and Spanish and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her practice.

Her style is gentle and down-to-earth. She listens first and adapts her approach to what each person needs. Sessions can include talking, simple mindfulness practices, and attention to how emotions show up in the body. She aims to create space where people can name what is hard and practice small changes.

Maria combines client-centered principles with practical tools. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person’s lead and create a respectful, nonjudgmental tone. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people change patterns of thinking and build moment-to-moment coping skills. She may also use psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns and solution-focused steps for immediate goals.

Her background includes work across mental health and reproductive health contexts, with experience supporting people through perinatal transitions and domestic violence impacts. Maria values cultural awareness and pays attention to how identity and background shape a person’s needs. She describes herself as warm, compassionate, and open to directness and gentle humor when it helps the work.

People who want straightforward, collaborative care that blends listening with concrete tools may find her approach helpful. Before booking, confirm current session options to match preferences and practical needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s pace, making space for what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clarity, and a place to name feelings without pressure.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going. It offers straightforward strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills for managing stress and strong emotions. Practices often include short breathing or grounding exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can be adjusted over time as progress and challenges appear.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around childcare, work, or medical visits. Confirm the current session options before booking so the logistics match personal needs.
