Maria Luna , LMSW, LCSW

Maria Luna is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning to help people handle stress, anxiety, grief, and challenges tied to identity and life change.

She combines short-term, goal-focused tools with a deeper look at patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions often include clear steps to try between meetings and time to reflect on what gets in the way of progress. This mix helps people manage mood, process trauma and reduce burnout from caregiving or work.

Her work often centers on women's issues, body image, and attachment concerns. She also addresses compassion fatigue, career pressures, and challenges around chronic illness or disability. Maria pays attention to how shame, guilt, and past losses shape current choices and relationships.

Clients can expect a respectful, accepting tone and an emphasis on practical skills. Maria brings five years of experience as a Licensed Master Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She practices in Wisconsin and offers sessions in English.

Therapy may use mindfulness, acceptance-based ideas, and cognitive tools to shift unhelpful thinking. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want more momentum toward change. Her aim is to help each person find workable steps that fit their life.

To begin, people choose an option to match with a therapist, answer a short questionnaire, and schedule a first session when it fits their calendar.

Therapeutic tools and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that reflect their values. It can help when anxiety, shame, or avoidance blocks everyday goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and coping. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors that respond to step-by-step practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate to decide which ideas and techniques best match a person's situation, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, mixing acceptance-based, mindfulness, and cognitive strategies to fit what is working.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow a more personal conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing coaching-style contact between scheduled visits. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, caregiving, and other demands.
