    About Maria

    Maria Bedoya is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and big life changes. She also offers coaching for professionals and support for compassion fatigue. Maria speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone reaching out.

    She keeps sessions focused and straightforward. Conversations are meant to be open and nonjudgmental so clients can talk about what matters most. Maria blends practical tools with space for reflection to help people move forward one step at a time.

    Her approach borrows from Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are offered when useful to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

    Maria has worked professionally for 11 years and brings that experience to everyday concerns like workplace stress, starting over after life changes, and building self-love. She has aided people dealing with domestic violence and immigration-related stress as part of that work.

    Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. The profile notes that therapy uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site steps to begin.

  2. Approaches that translate well to online work

    Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons to change and set small, realistic goals. It focuses on listening and asking questions that build motivation and commitment.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead and creates space for honest reflection and self-direction.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thinking that affect mood and behavior, then tests new ways of responding. It can help with anxiety, stress, and managing reactions to life changes.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

    Because specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to help clients practice skills between meetings and apply changes to daily routines.
