About Ekaterina

Ekaterina Maza is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges. She also supports clients facing anger, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting questions, self-esteem struggles, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Ekaterina approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and encouraging.

Background and approach

Ekaterina uses a straightforward, strengths-based style. She centers conversations on a client’s personal goals and builds on existing strengths. Sessions are shaped to meet practical needs and to increase self-awareness and self-worth.

She adapts the pace and focus to what the client wants to work on. Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy. That means she combines listening and acceptance with skill-building and attention to present-moment experience.

Techniques may include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing mindful skills, and setting small, concrete steps toward change. Ekaterina has six years of professional experience and practices in Florida. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people find approaches that fit their lives. Practical matters are handled directly: Ekaterina tailors treatment plans and dialogues to individual needs and supports clients through challenges with empathy and clear next steps.

Approaches and online support for families and individuals

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people clarify their goals and values. This approach is helpful for building trust and finding direction when relationships or family life feel strained.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new, small behaviors. CBT can be useful for addressing anxiety, depression, anger, and everyday coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of how therapy works. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and reflection, skill training, mindfulness, or a mix of methods to match the situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see and hear the therapist in real time, phone sessions work for busy schedules, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and family responsibilities while still working toward clear goals.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
