Maria Concepcion , LMHC

Maria Concepcion, LMHC, has been a practicing therapist for 13 years in Florida. She aims to make sessions feel like a relaxed conversation so people can speak openly about stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns. She offers therapy in English and Spanish and blends practical tools with a direct, compassionate style.

Maria focuses on helping people build stronger coping skills for life’s ups and downs. She supports those facing addictions, family-of-origin problems, codependency, and mixed issues like career stress plus low self-esteem. Her work often addresses trauma, attachment concerns, and problems with sleep or eating.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions include conversations, short “assignments,” and messaging work between meetings to track patterns and practice new skills.

Maria describes her approach as collaborative and direct. She will work with a person to create a clear plan and practical steps toward goals. Spiritual reflection is offered when it fits the client’s beliefs and goals, focused on personal growth and deeper intimacy with the God of the client’s understanding.

People who prefer straightforward guidance and small, practical tasks tend to do well with her style. She mixes warm, calm conversation with concrete tools to help people make steady progress on relationship, addiction, mood, and life-change challenges.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete changes to feel and function better. It often helps with mood, worry, sleep, and eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships affect current patterns and helps people build safer, more connected ways of relating in their relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences. She combines talking, brief between-session assignments, and messaging to tailor a plan that feels achievable and relevant.

Online sessions offer real flexibility in how therapy happens. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions are an option when video isn't possible or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing support, and practicing skills in between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
