About Maria

Maria Rojas is a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She draws on eight years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family concerns. She offers sessions in both English and Spanish and uses straightforward, practical techniques to address everyday problems.

Maria keeps work focused and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients map out small, manageable steps. Sessions often include skill-building for emotion regulation and ways to reduce overwhelming thoughts.

Background and approach

Parents and caregivers can expect concrete tools they can try between meetings. Her practice pays close attention to relationships. Communication problems, attachment and abandonment issues, and separation or divorce are common topics she addresses.

She also supports clients dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and social anxiety by teaching coping strategies and healthier patterns of relating. Trauma and post-traumatic stress are handled with care and practical pacing. Maria uses mindfulness techniques alongside cognitive strategies to help reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.

She works on problem-solving, relapse prevention, and rebuilding routines that support recovery. Her approach balances short-term skills with longer-term change. Maria explains techniques in simple language and tailors them to each person’s life.

To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Practical approaches for online family and relationship work

Maria uses evidence-based techniques that translate well to online formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking; it helps with anxiety, depression, and communication difficulties. Mindfulness-based strategies teach attention and calming practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful family interactions. Both approaches are taught in clear steps and practiced in session so clients can use them at home.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maria will discuss goals, daily routines, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as needed. She adjusts pacing and homework to match each person’s needs and comfort level so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy families and caregivers. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or for those who prefer written communication. These formats help people fit therapy into tight schedules and maintain continuity of care across distance.
