Maria Caballero, LPC - Therapist in Virginia

About Maria

Maria Caballero is a licensed professional counselor with 22 years of experience. She practices in Virginia and speaks both English and Spanish. Maria focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, and related issues.

She emphasizes respectful, sensitive care and supports people taking the first steps toward change. Her work centers on clear conversation and practical tools. She adapts sessions to each person’s situation instead of using one fixed plan.

Background and approach

That can mean focusing on coping skills for anxiety, parenting strategies, or processing painful life events. Maria aims to make each session understandable and useful. Over two decades of practice have exposed her to a wide range of family patterns and life transitions.

She has helped people managing grief, workplace stress, and mood concerns. Maria also addresses immigration-related worries, multicultural issues, and healing after sexual assault and other trauma. Maria uses approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness.

She helps clients learn new ways of reacting and relating rather than just talking about problems. Sessions are tailored to goals like improving relationships, reducing anxiety, or finding more balance. She offers multiple session formats, including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

Payment uses a cancellable subscription model. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are required.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Maria often uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current family and parenting dynamics. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice stress responses and practice calm, present-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping and what feels practical for daily life.

Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or family schedules and to continue care when life gets busy. The variety of formats lets people select the way of working that feels most comfortable for them.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
