Maria Luna, LMSW, LCSW - Therapist in Wisconsin

About Maria

Maria Luna uses practical, evidence-based therapy to help people manage stress and life changes. She is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of experience. Maria responds with straightforward support and aims to make therapy feel manageable for busy parents and caregivers.

She focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, depression, grief, and burnout from caregiving or work. Maria also addresses concerns tied to identity and relationships, including LGBT issues, family problems, and communication struggles.

Background and approach

She approaches these topics with attention to each persons story and current needs. Her work draws on a mix of methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered listening. In sessions she helps people name difficult feelings, try small changes, and practice new ways of coping.

The pace is guided by what the person says they need. Maria also helps with practical goals such as career decisions, managing ADHD symptoms, and rebuilding after loss or separation. She brings experience with attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness, and grief.

The aim is to build skills that fit into everyday life. Based in Wisconsin, Maria offers sessions in English. She provides several online formats so parents can choose what works best for their schedules.

To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is more skills-focused and helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make the most sense based on their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That way therapy stays useful and grounded in real problems rather than an abstract plan.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines and to keep progress between appointments. Working online also lets people practice strategies from home and check in in shorter, flexible ways when needed.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
