About Maria

Maria Isaza is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical help for everyday challenges. She listens carefully and offers clear feedback so people can feel understood. Many seek support for stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and motivation.

Sessions aim to be calm and straightforward so concerns can be talked through without pressure. In sessions Maria uses plain language to identify thoughts and habits that keep problems stuck. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change how they respond.

Background and approach

This approach is useful for social anxiety, workplace stress, and building confidence. Maria also offers support around relationships, family matters, and life transitions. She pays attention to burnout and compassion fatigue and helps people find ways to restore balance.

Additional areas of focus include forgiveness, self-love, sexuality, women's issues, and young adult concerns. Maria has three years of clinical experience and practices in Florida. She works in both English and Spanish.

Communication options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling is arranged from there.

The first steps are simple and aim to match practical needs with the right next step.

CBT and online care for practical change

Maria uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice the thoughts and routines that keep problems going. CBT focuses on breaking issues into small, manageable parts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. This method is often helpful for anxiety, social worries, low confidence, and workplace stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals and then chooses CBT techniques that fit those goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist adjust methods over time based on what proves useful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. These formats let people connect from home, fit sessions around busy schedules, and keep contact between meetings when needed. The range of options makes it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.

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.
