Maria Lozano , LCSW

Maria Lozano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and challenges around pregnancy and postpartum. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and other women's issues. Maria speaks English and Spanish and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her practice.

Her style is warm and direct. She creates a calm space where people can name what feels hard and try small, practical steps to feel better. Sessions include talking, breathing practices, and tools people can use between meetings. Maria values cultural context and pays attention to how identity and life circumstances shape emotional pain.

Maria draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person's priorities. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness methods and psychodynamic ideas help people notice physical sensations and long-standing relationship patterns.

She often focuses on concrete goals and short-term problem solving when that fits, while also leaving room to understand deeper feelings and family history. Maria combines talking work with body-centered awareness so people can feel more grounded in moments of distress.

Sessions can be offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. People interested in starting complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions through the platform.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Maria frequently uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions are guided by the person's needs and goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects concerns back, and helps people make choices that fit their life. This approach is useful for building trust and clarifying priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to spot patterns of thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck. CBT offers concrete strategies to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood. Mindfulness therapy is another part of her work, teaching simple attention and breathing practices to ease overwhelming emotions and manage stress.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try different techniques, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to share their preferences and goals so the plan fits their situation.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins, shorter updates, or days when writing feels better than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent amid busy schedules.
