About Maria
Maria Caballero uses a blend of proven talk therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 22 years of clinical experience. Maria speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for everyday life.
She focuses on what’s happening now and how the past shows up in relationships and self-view. Sessions often include steps to reduce overwhelming feelings, improve sleep, and handle career or workplace strain.
How Maria works
She also addresses family topics like parenting concerns, family of origin issues, and navigating immigration-related stress. Maria combines approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness practices. That mix lets her tailor conversations and exercises to each person’s needs.
Conversations are meant to be direct and caring, with clear strategies to try between sessions. She supports people coping with grief, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, and challenges from prejudice or discrimination. Maria also helps those dealing with compassion fatigue, questions of life purpose, midlife transitions, and issues affecting women’s mental health.
Her bedside manner is respectful and down-to-earth. Maria partners with clients to set goals and choose techniques that fit their routines. The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and self-worth. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to identify patterns and rebuild more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In virtual sessions this often means setting simple experiments between meetings and reviewing results together to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, personal history, and daily routines. Together they choose techniques that fit the person’s needs and life, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps match methods to what actually helps the client feel better.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which give more flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video calls are useful for deeper discussion and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can serve as shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions.
