About Maria

LCSW in Florida with 7 years of clinical experience, Maria Molano helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and depression. She works with adults who report mood changes, trouble communicating, or the aftermath of emotional abuse.

Maria uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives to look at emotions and long-term relationship themes.

Sessions are conversational and interactive. Maria avoids labels and focuses on what is happening now and what patterns keep showing up. She and the client set goals and check progress as therapy continues.

Her background includes clinical social work practice in Florida across a variety of settings. That experience includes work with people managing mood disorders, trauma responses, and complex relationship problems. She brings seven years of direct practice to assessment and treatment planning.

Therapy often covers attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication breakdowns, infidelity, blended family issues, and problems related to narcissistic or avoidant behaviors. Maria also addresses practical problems such as hoarding, isolation, and guilt.

To get started, a short questionnaire is used to match needs and schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approach and what online sessions involve

Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address patterns and symptoms. Cognitive-behavioral work looks at thoughts and behaviors and helps people change patterns that keep anxiety and low mood going. Humanistic elements focus on present emotions and how people make meaning of their experience. Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring relationship themes and how past experiences shape current reactions.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, past treatment, and preferences to decide which methods fit best. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust the plan together as needs change.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from different locations. Some formats use video for face-to-face work, while others can be shorter check-ins by phone when that better fits a schedule. Licensed professionals can work with clients remotely to address the same patterns and skills they would in person, with attention to what each person needs for practical scheduling and communication.
