About Maria
LMHC licensed in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience, Maria Gonzalez focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and depression. She also works with obsessions, compulsions and phobias. Maria provides therapy in English and Spanish and draws on several well-known approaches to guide her sessions.
Maria uses a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. She listens first and then helps people identify small, usable steps. Conversations often focus on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and on building practical skills to manage distress.
Her work often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thought patterns and habits that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and perspective. Dialectical behavior therapy skills can appear when people need tools for emotion regulation and coping under pressure.
Maria describes motivation and narrative techniques as part of her toolkit. Those approaches help people clarify why change matters and rewrite unhelpful stories they tell themselves. Sessions can include skill practice, goal-setting, and talking through past experiences that still cause pain.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. The focus is on practical steps that fit into everyday life and on making steady progress toward clearer priorities. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site’s process to schedule a first meeting.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective. In practice that means the therapist listens without directing and helps the client choose priorities and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought and behavior patterns and offers exercises to change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, phobias, and obsessive thoughts. Dialectical behavior therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and for tolerating distress in pressured moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will talk with each person about what feels most relevant and will adapt methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and to use shorter check-ins when time is limited. They also allow work on skill practice and concrete exercises between meetings so therapy can connect directly to everyday life.
