Maria Caballero , LPC

Maria Caballero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and issues tied to family and parenting. Her approach is practical and respectful, and she speaks English and Spanish.

She uses several talk-based approaches to guide sessions. Maria draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness tools and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are used to manage intense emotion and build calm moments.

In session she listens first and tailors the plan to each person. Conversations focus on concrete steps people can try between sessions. She helps clients facing grief, relationship struggles, workplace stress, immigration-related concerns, and challenges tied to identity and discrimination.

Maria has worked with trauma, including sexual assault and post-traumatic stress, and she supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and burnout. She also helps with sleep problems, mood concerns, ADHD, and midlife or career transitions.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to create a space where people feel heard and can practice new ways of coping. For Spanish speakers she offers services in Spanish as well as English.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Maria draws on attachment-based work to explore how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions. This approach helps people understand why they respond the way they do in close relationships and learn new ways of relating.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and to manage stressful life changes. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity when feelings run high.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Maria will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt methods over time. She encourages collaboration so the plan fits the client's needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep regular contact as progress is made.
