Background and approach
She also helps people understand how early life experiences affect current relationships and choices. Sessions are collaborative and respectful. Maritza emphasizes earning trust and treating each person with dignity and compassion.
She believes therapy should be tailored to the individual rather than using a single method for everyone. Her approach blends attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and emotionally-focused work to address relationship concerns and intimacy issues. She also incorporates existential perspectives when people are facing questions about meaning, career, or midlife changes.
Parents worried about attention, behavior, or school struggles will find someone who speaks plainly and offers concrete coaching and coping strategies. Maritza combines skill-building with reflective conversation to help people take manageable steps forward.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand connection, trust, and closeness in friendships and intimate relationships and can guide work on communication and security. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, reworking unhelpful thinking, and changing behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on feelings in relationships and helps people name emotions, express needs, and strengthen bonds.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together which methods feel most useful for symptoms, life stage, and personal preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face work for skills training and deeper conversations. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when shorter messages help maintain momentum between longer sessions.
