About Maria
Dr. Maria Humphrey greets people with a calm, steady presence and practical help. She is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist with ten years of clinical experience.
She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on day-to-day problems like stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Maria aims to make conversations simple and useful. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change.
She listens without judgment and helps clients notice patterns, try small experiments, and build coping skills that fit real life.
How Maria works
Her work often addresses compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports people dealing with aging or geriatric issues, cancer and hospice concerns, caregiver stress, and the fallout from divorce or separation. Communication problems, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose are also areas she addresses.
Therapeutic methods include client-centered and psychodynamic ideas, existential reflection, solution-focused steps, and trauma-focused strategies when trauma is relevant. Maria blends these to match what each person needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. People choose her when they want clear, practical next steps and a therapist who pays attention to the full picture of their life.
She aims to help clients build resilience and move forward with greater clarity and self-compassion.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Humphrey uses client-centered work to focus on the client's own experience and priorities, helping people name what matters most and decide on small, practical steps. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and try targeted changes that can show results quickly. When past experiences affect present life, she uses psychodynamic ideas to help people see long-standing patterns and how they influence current choices.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss which methods seem most helpful and tailor sessions to the client's needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way. Clients and therapist check in and adjust the approach together as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video lets people work face to face when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter updates, scheduling, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and stay connected from different locations.
