Approaches that guide online sessions
Maria draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep distress going and practicing new ways of responding; this can help with low self-esteem, mood struggles, and social anxiety. Another approach emphasizes repairing communication and teaching concrete skills for clearer interactions, which is useful for relationship and family tensions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set goals, try techniques in-session, and review how those changes feel in everyday life.
