About Maria

Maria Eijo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 25 years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She brings a history of working with depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, survivors of abuse, HIV, grief, and serious illness, and has significant experience with the LGBT community. Her practice also includes attention to ADHD and many other areas of concern such as addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and coping with major life changes.

Her approach centers on helping clients identify strengths and build practical strategies for wellness and growth. Maria uses evidence-informed methods to support problem solving, enhance coping, and clarify values so clients can move toward a more satisfying life.

She offers services in English and Spanish and provides sessions to both domestic and international clients through a variety of remote formats. Maria emphasizes collaboration and respects each person's unique background and goals.

She frames therapy as a process of discovery and resilience, guiding people toward renewed confidence and a sense that the best remains possible ahead.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Maria integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding each person's perspective and building a collaborative, empathetic relationship to help clients access their own strengths and values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and stress, which can be useful for concerns like depression, anxiety, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to explore which methods match their needs and goals, adjusting techniques over time so the work remains relevant and personalized. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in shaping their treatment plan rather than following a fixed protocol.

Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during travel or relocation, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver focused, goal-oriented work while respecting each client's preferences and pace.
