About Maria
Maria Capehart is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and brings five years of clinical experience to her work. Maria sees adults and couples and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier in daily life.
She uses straightforward, collaborative sessions to help people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, ADHD, and relationship strain. Conversations often focus on breaking down problems into manageable parts and trying small changes between sessions.
Background and approach
Maria also supports people navigating grief, immigration stress, identity concerns, and parenting challenges. Maria draws on client-centered methods to center each person's goals. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change.
Trauma-focused tools are used when past events keep affecting current life. In session she helps people build new coping skills, strengthen self-esteem, and work on communication or control issues that get in the way. She also addresses co-occurring concerns like substance use, impulsivity, or eating-related problems when they appear alongside mood and anxiety symptoms.
Sessions can include practical planning and homework that fit each person’s schedule. Maria frames therapy as a partnership where the client’s priorities guide the work. Her bilingual ability supports English or Spanish conversation for those who prefer it.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Maria often combines client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and strengths, letting the client lead what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build specific skills to change behaviors and mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Maria treats it as a team effort. She works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, adjusting the plan as progress and preferences emerge.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework discussion, and moments when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to work around school, work, or family schedules and help maintain continuity when life is busy.
