About Maria
Maria Perez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who centers sessions around the person in the room. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on practical steps people can use to manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. She also helps with parenting concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and building self-love.
With eight years as an LMHC, she aims for straightforward, collaborative work. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and build on strengths already present. Maria emphasizes clear goals and small, doable changes rather than long lists of techniques.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities. She also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and notice progress. These methods are used together to keep sessions practical and outcome-oriented.
Maria pays attention to communication patterns and impulsivity that can make daily life harder. She offers tools for managing anger and for improving how people talk about needs and limits. Caregiver stress and forgiveness are other areas she supports through calm, steady guidance.
People who work with her typically leave with concrete strategies they can use between sessions. She encourages small steps and frequent reflection to keep progress moving. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
How Client-Centered, CBT, and Solution-Focused Approaches Work Online
Maria uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and pace, allowing conversations to unfold around what matters most. This approach supports people who need a space to be heard and to shape goals based on their own values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and to practice different ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is helpful for stress, anxiety, impulsivity, and managing symptoms often seen with ADHD.
Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term, concrete goals and track small wins. It keeps work practical and aimed at change people can notice week to week.
Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed so care stays aligned with the person's priorities.
