Maria Reymundo, LCSW, LICSW - Therapist in Louisiana

About Maria

Maria Reymundo is a licensed clinical social worker who centers therapy on collaboration and practical skills. She uses a mix of approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs. She speaks English and Spanish and brings ten years of clinical experience to the work.

Maria emphasizes a team-like relationship between therapist and client. She focuses on building skills that make daily challenges easier to manage. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented so progress feels tangible.

Background and approach

Her background includes inpatient psychiatry, community mental health, internal medicine, addiction treatment, and a university counseling center. That work introduced a wide range of mental health concerns and settings. Over a decade she developed particular familiarity with depression, anxiety, trauma, and adjustment-related struggles.

In sessions she draws from client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools. She also uses dialectical behavior strategies and brief solution-focused work when helpful. The mix is chosen to match what each person needs, rather than following a single rule.

Parents looking for help with family or parenting topics will find practical ideas and concrete strategies to try between meetings. She also addresses issues such as grief, addiction, mood concerns, and multicultural stressors. The aim is steady, usable change rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Maria blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to address everyday challenges. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding your goals, and building a trusting relationship so you can make decisions that fit your life. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Maria will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That means trying concrete tools first and adjusting as needed, rather than sticking to one fixed plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and daily life and allow follow-up or quick check-ins when useful. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review progress, and support practical changes over time.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
