About Maria

Maria Dally is a licensed social worker who blends evidence-based techniques with compassionate support to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and mood concerns.

Background and approach

As an LMSW practicing in Michigan, she focuses on building practical coping skills, increasing self-compassion, and strengthening resilience so clients can navigate life transitions, grief, relationship and family challenges, and symptoms related to ADHD and depression. Her work emphasizes collaboration and empowerment rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

With four years of clinical experience, Maria draws from cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical skills, acceptance-based practices, attachment-informed ideas, and client-centered principles to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She has a background supporting parents, children, and families in community mental health settings, and she uses that experience to address parenting concerns, attachment issues, and communication patterns.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are adapted to fit the realities of everyday life, helping clients translate insight into sustainable habits. Outside of clinical work she enjoys crocheting, puzzles, cooking, and walks with loved ones, and brings a warm, down-to-earth presence to the therapeutic relationship.

Maria aims to create a culturally responsive environment that honors individual stories while working toward meaningful change.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build committed actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach is often useful for coping with anxiety, life transitions, and persistent stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is especially helpful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday challenges where skill-building produces measurable shifts. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating that developed in early relationships and how they affect current connections, which can be helpful for family concerns, parenting, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right combination of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt ACT, CBT, attachment-focused ideas, or other tools to create a tailored plan. This collaborative stance helps clients try approaches and adjust them based on what feels most effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work from home or other routines. These formats support ongoing skill practice, timely check-ins, and consistent therapeutic momentum while allowing licensed professionals to provide care that fits each person’s life.
