About Maria

Maria Lozano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of clinical experience. She supports people coping with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and brings a warm, compassionate presence to the room.

Her approach blends practical, down-to-earth listening with hands-on tools. Sessions often focus on clear goals, gentle self-reflection, and skills that can be used day to day. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where small steps add up over time.

Maria uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered listening to understand what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when changing unhelpful thinking and habits can ease mood and daily functioning. Mindfulness techniques and somatic ideas are offered to help people calm the body and notice how emotions show up physically.

She also integrates psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns from the past that affect present relationships and behavior. Solution-focused strategies are used to set concrete, achievable goals and track progress between sessions. These tools are chosen to help with relationship strains, family dynamics, postpartum mood changes, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.

Maria aims to be approachable and humane in sessions. She welcomes humor when it fits and treats tears as part of healing. To start, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches used online and how they help

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. It helps when someone wants a space to be heard and to make decisions at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to notice and change thoughts and behaviors that worsen mood. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and habit changes that interfere with daily life.

Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and bring calm to stressful moments. This can help with stress, grief, and somatic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Together they will try strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
