About Maria
Maria Casson Greco is a counsellor who draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand themselves and their close relationships. She practices in English and Portuguese and brings 11 years of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, grief and sleep concerns. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly about what is worrying them.
Maria uses reflective conversation to help people notice patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life. Sessions often look at how past experiences shape present feelings and choices. She connects emotional themes such as abandonment, attachment and shame to practical steps that can help people feel steadier day to day.
Mindfulness techniques are used alongside psychodynamic work to help with grounding and managing strong feelings. Solution-focused ideas are introduced when short-term, practical changes are needed. Systemic thinking helps place individual worries within family and work contexts so people can see different options.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with issues such as depression, bipolar mood difficulties, addictions and trauma. Maria also supports people facing career pressures, parenting strain and relationship breakdown. She names body image, eating difficulties and intimacy-related struggles among her areas of focus.
People meet her for help with sleep and rest problems as part of broader emotional work. The approach aims to identify what is keeping sleep disturbed while building skills to improve rest. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site booking flow to match with her and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online therapeutic work
Maria often brings psychodynamic therapy into online work, helping people notice recurring patterns and understand how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships. This approach can support those dealing with grief, depression, trauma and complex relationship dynamics.She also uses mindfulness practices to help clients manage strong emotions and improve sleep and rest. Mindfulness exercises are introduced gradually and can be practised between sessions to build calmer routines. Solution-focused techniques provide short-term, practical steps when someone needs immediate, manageable changes to their day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and preferences, and tailor a blend of methods to suit those aims. This conversation about fit usually happens in early sessions and continues as needs change.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and simpler access from different locations. Because the biography does not specify session formats, readers should confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can help people sustain continuity of care and bring therapeutic tools into everyday life without expecting particular formats to be guaranteed.
