About Maria
Maria Perez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts. She works in English and Spanish and focuses on practical help for day-to-day struggles. She welcomes people who want clear tools and steady support as they navigate stress and life changes.
Maria centers sessions on each person's strengths and priorities. She listens first, then helps set small goals that feel doable. Sessions often include straightforward strategies for managing anxiety, anger, impulsivity, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and create alternative behavior steps. Client-Centered Therapy guides the pace and tone of meetings so people shape their own process. Solution-Focused techniques are used to build quick wins and move toward specific goals.
Maria has eight years of counseling experience working with stress, parenting concerns, caregiver strain, communication problems, forgiveness, and self-love. She aims to make sessions feel practical and hopeful rather than overwhelming. Many people come away with clearer plans and skills they can use at home.
She describes the first step as simple and courageous: reach out, answer a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a session. Maria helps clients find manageable next steps and checks in on progress along the way.
How Maria’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates a respectful space where the person sets the pace and topics, which helps when someone needs to talk through parenting stress or low self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests small changes to improve day-to-day functioning; it is useful for anxiety, impulsivity, and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and practical steps so people notice progress quickly and build confidence.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay focused on their goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions are easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no camera. Live chat and text messages suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or touch-base moments between scheduled sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and different communication needs.
