About Maria
Maria Concepcion is a Florida LMHC with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life changes. She also supports people facing substance use in their network and those wanting help with attention, parenting, work stress, or identity matters.
Maria keeps sessions direct and conversational. She invites active participation between meetings through messaging and short assignments. She uses practical tools aimed at changing unhelpful thought patterns and emotions so everyday behavior can shift over time.
Her main clinical approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, delivered in a way that focuses on what feels achievable for each person. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas when those fit the goals on the table. Sessions may include skills practice, thought restructuring, and exercises to improve communication and boundaries.
She describes bringing spiritual reflection into work when clients wish to include it, allowing faith to be part of personal growth and intimacy with the God of a client's understanding. Maria says the process is collaborative and straightforward, and she is direct about steps clients can take between sessions.
Maria sees a wide range of concerns including trauma, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD-related struggles, and caregiver or family-of-origin issues. She works in English and Spanish and provides care from her Florida practice.
How her approaches are used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, meaning questions, and feeling stuck after big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and gives concrete exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress. Attachment-informed work pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions and can help with intimacy and communication concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to decide whether ACT, CBT, or attachment-focused ideas fit best based on the client’s goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
Confirm the session formats Maria currently offers before booking. Online therapy can fit into busy schedules because it often reduces travel time and lets people schedule sessions around school, work, or caregiving. It also makes it easier to keep short check-ins or use messaging between sessions to practice skills. These practical benefits can help young adults balance therapy with study, early careers, and family responsibilities.
