About Maria

Maria Concepcion is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She combines compassion with straightforward guidance, aiming to create a comfortable, conversational atmosphere where clients can share openly while pursuing concrete goals. Maria emphasizes practical tools and active participation so therapy extends beyond weekly sessions into real-world change.

Her work frequently uses cognitive behavioral methods to examine and restructure thought patterns that influence emotions and behavior, and she supplements this with interventions drawn from ACT, DBT, attachment-focused ideas, and client-centered techniques as appropriate.

She also offers support around addiction and codependency, career and self-esteem issues, sleep and eating problems, and other focus areas such as ADHD, trauma, and caregiving stress. Sessions may include messaging and assigned practice between meetings to reinforce learning and track progress, and she integrates spiritual reflection when clients express that as part of their growth path.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action despite difficult thoughts or feelings; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns to reduce symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and problems with sleep or eating. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can assist clients who struggle with intense emotions or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Maria collaborates with each client to select and adapt methods based on individual goals, preferences, and presenting challenges so that the plan feels personalized and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain consistency, practice skills between meetings through messaging and assignments, and access therapy from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
