About Maria
Maria Cascarino is a counsellor who uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and she offers straightforward support for everyday struggles. She understands that starting therapy can feel daunting and aims to make the first steps gentle and manageable. Maria speaks in plain language and focuses on practical changes rather than jargon.
She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, anger or career pressures. Her sessions look at the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.
How Maria works
Maria helps people spot unhelpful patterns and practise new ways of responding. She offers tools for panic attacks, social anxiety, body image concerns and boosting self-worth. Work-related stress and women's issues are also areas she addresses.
With three years of experience, Maria draws on CBT to set clear, achievable goals together. Sessions are tailored to each person so the pace and focus match what they need right now. She encourages homework tasks that build skills between meetings.
Maria provides therapy via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location and therapist availability. Sessions are offered in English and she works from the United Kingdom.
To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. The initial steps are simple and designed to get people talking about what matters to them.

How CBT and online sessions work together
Maria uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety, depression and anger. CBT breaks problems into clear steps and teaches practical tools, such as breathing exercises for panic and exercises to challenge negative self-talk.Therapy is a collaborative process. Maria will work with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and preferences. Together they set manageable objectives and review what helps, adjusting methods as needs change.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can suit those with less bandwidth, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
