Attachment-informed and skills-based care online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps people understand connection and trust issues, heal attachment wounds, and improve relationship dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to bodily sensations and emotions, which can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Maria collaborates with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative orientation helps tailor sessions so therapy feels focused and relevant.

Online therapy with Maria is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for differing schedules and locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from afar, and choose communication modes that suit individual comfort and lifestyle.
