About Maria
Maria Concepcion is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of clinical experience. She creates a calm, friendly space where people can speak honestly. Sessions are conversational and direct, with an emphasis on practical steps toward change.
She often works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports people coping with substance misuse in others, codependency, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, career pressures and identity questions. Spiritual reflection is available for those who want it, framed around each person’s own beliefs.
Maria uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches. She focuses on concrete tools and homework so clients can practice new ways of thinking and behaving between sessions. This work is active and collaborative rather than only talk.
Her style is compassionate, direct and practical. She asks clients to engage outside sessions through messaging and brief exercises to help identify thought and behavior patterns. That ongoing work is part of the plan to create lasting change.
Maria sees clients in Florida and speaks English and Spanish. She combines clear guidance with a warm manner to help people build coping skills, improve relationships, and address sleep and other life challenges.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Maria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to change feelings and behavior. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult feelings rather than fighting them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and can adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins or messaging between meetings to support homework. It can also let people choose sessions that match their energy level on a given day, such as a shorter check-in when time is tight or a longer discussion when needed. Licensed professionals and therapists generally use these flexible formats to help clients apply new skills in everyday life without promising specific outcomes.
