About Maria
Maria Dally uses practical, people-centered therapy to help clients manage strong emotions and life changes. She is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who focuses on building resilience and clearer coping skills. Maria speaks English and Spanish and keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused.
She blends approaches like cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance strategies to help with anxiety, depression, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. Maria also draws on attachment work to address relationship strains, family problems, and issues tied to adoption or separation experiences.
How Maria works
Sessions often include simple skills practice and real-life problem solving. Parents and caregivers may find her useful when parenting feels overwhelming or when family stress is high. She supports people dealing with trauma, grief, postpartum struggles, sleep and eating problems, anger, or burnout from caregiving.
Maria also helps with panic, ADHD-related struggles, and feelings of isolation. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Western Michigan University and four years of clinical experience in community mental health settings. That work included both virtual and in-person sessions and focused on individual care and family-related concerns.
Outside of work she enjoys crochet, puzzles, cooking, and walks with loved ones. She mentions a fondness for cats, plants, turtles, and the color pink. Maria aims to work collaboratively, helping each person name goals and practice small changes that add up.

Online support options
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, insomnia, or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns and helps people understand how early relationships affect present interactions and closeness. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together decide which methods to try. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most. Online therapy offers many practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face when meeting in person is hard, while phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skills reminders, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or other routines.Start online instead of waiting
