About Maria
Maria Caballero is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 22 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and doable.
Maria uses clear, practical conversation to figure out what matters most to each person. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to help with sleep, mood, and daily coping.
Background and approach
She also attends to relationship and family struggles and the effects of work-related strain and compassion fatigue. Her style centers on listening first and then shaping a plan together. Sessions are adapted to each person’s pace, needs, and cultural background.
Immigration concerns, prejudice, and multicultural issues are part of her clinical focus when they come up. Maria supports people working through grief, life changes, questions about purpose, and recovery after sexual assault and abuse. She also helps with parenting stress, family of origin problems, forgiveness work, and navigating midlife transitions.
Practical tools and small behavior changes are common parts of the work. Clients can expect a respectful, sensitive approach that balances skills training with space to process emotions. Maria aims to help people build more stable routines, clearer boundaries, and better ways to manage mood and relationships.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connection patterns. Online sessions use this lens to notice how you relate to others and practice new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tries small changes to shift each part; it can help with anxiety, sleep, low mood, and unhelpful routines. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and improve focus and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest strategies to try. Decisions about which techniques to use are collaborative and may change as you make progress or face new challenges.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversation and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, live chat helps when typing feels easier, and messaging supports notes between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep regular contact while working toward practical changes.
