Maria Roman , LCSW

Maria Roman is a Connecticut-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on women's issues and emotional healing. She helps people rebuild self-esteem, manage depression, and handle relationship concerns. Maria prioritizes compassion and practical steps so changes feel doable.

She uses a strength-based style that asks what already works in a person’s life. Sessions often include talking through painful memories, naming difficult feelings, and practicing new ways to communicate. Maria supports people coping with major life changes such as divorce or separation.

Many clients come for help after trauma or abuse, or when they feel isolated and overwhelmed. She also guides those dealing with body image struggles, guilt, shame, or a sense of lost purpose. Maria pays attention to both emotional and spiritual dimensions when that matters to the person she’s working with.

Her background combines five years of clinical experience with a faith-informed perspective for those who choose it. The LCSW credential stands for licensed clinical social worker. Maria conducts sessions in English and Spanish to serve a wider range of people.

Practical tools are part of her work. Expect clear goals, short-term skills to manage intense moments, and space to reflect on deeper patterns. The aim is steady progress toward more self-compassion and stronger connections.

Approaches that guide online care

Many people benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on feeling and behavior change. One common approach helps people process painful memories and reduce their power over daily life by slowly naming feelings, identifying patterns, and practicing new responses. This is useful for trauma, shame, and emotional reactions tied to past events.

Another practical method emphasizes skills for everyday coping and mood regulation. It teaches concrete tools for managing depression, anxiety, and intense emotions, and includes communication practice for improving relationships and resolving conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist helps clients identify goals, tries strategies together, and adjusts methods based on what actually helps. Client preferences, needs, and pace guide how therapy evolves over time.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for more in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working toward real change.
