About Maria
Maria Concepcion is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 13 years of clinical experience. She aims to make sessions feel like a relaxed conversation so people can speak openly. Her work focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD-related difficulties.
Maria uses practical tools and clear guidance to help people change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. She often draws on cognitive behavioral methods to identify thinking patterns and build new coping skills.
Background and approach
Sessions include discussion, skill practice, and brief activities to use between meetings. Her style is direct but compassionate. She asks clients to take an active role by sharing progress through messaging and completing short assignments.
This helps identify how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and what to change next. In addition to cognitive work, Maria integrates attachment-informed ideas to address how early relationships affect current connections. She also uses acceptance-based techniques to help people tolerate difficult feelings while committing to meaningful actions.
Maria works with issues across life areas, including workplace stress, family problems, substance-related codependency, sleep and eating concerns, and career questions. She communicates in English and Spanish and sees clients from Florida. Her approach aims to be practical, steady, and focused on measurable steps forward.
Approach and online care that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where avoidance has become a pattern. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to change emotions and behavior; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections and helps people develop healthier patterns in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to pick or combine methods that fit their goals and preferences. She listens to what matters most, checks in about whether techniques are helping, and adjusts the plan together as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, chat and text let people check in between sessions and work through shorter topics, and messaging supports ongoing homework and updates. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, family, and daily life while still using the same therapeutic tools and structure.
