About Maria

Dr. Maria Clapp brings 25 years of clinical experience as an LMHC practicing in Florida.

Background and approach

She combines a client-centered stance with solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction-related concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and ADHD among other challenges.

Her training includes a bachelor’s in psychology, a master’s in mental health counseling, and a doctorate in organizational leadership, and she has worked with adults and older adults across a range of life circumstances. Her practice emphasizes building an honest, trusting connection first, then addressing the practical patterns that keep clients stuck.

Dr. Clapp uses trauma-informed and motivational interviewing techniques when appropriate, and she offers psychoeducational work in areas such as parenting and anger management.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, she accepts international clients and provides sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit diverse needs and schedules.

Approaches and Online Care that Fit Your Life

Dr. Clapp draws from client-centered therapy to place the person and their goals at the center of care, creating space for clients to express what matters most and to set priorities for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to build concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing complements these methods by helping people explore their own motivations and strengthen readiness for change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative effort. The therapist will work with each client to determine which combination of strategies best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as work progresses. This partnership helps ensure treatment stays practical and responsive.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can access care in ways that fit daily life. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity when travel or mobility is a factor, and support ongoing skill practice between sessions.
