About Maria
Maria Isaza provides calm, straightforward support for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. She welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, career questions, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are conducted online by a Florida LCSW.
Maria uses clear, practical steps to help people build confidence and handle everyday pressures. She listens closely and helps clients name patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way.
How Maria works
Work can include short exercises, goal-setting, and small experiments to try between sessions. Her focus includes compassion fatigue, workplace issues, social anxiety and phobia, and concerns common to young adults and women. Maria also supports people dealing with forgiveness, self-love, and questions about sexuality.
She frames challenges as things that can change with steady effort and new strategies. Maria has three years of professional experience as a licensed clinical social worker. That background guides her toward solutions that fit a person’s daily life and responsibilities.
She keeps language simple and uses examples clients can relate to. If someone wants a direct, practical approach without jargon, Maria can help map a path forward. People who choose her often look for tools to manage stress, steady their mood, and improve how they relate to others.
Her sessions aim to make progress feel doable one step at a time.

How CBT and online sessions work together
Maria uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers concrete tools such as thought records and small behavioral experiments that can reduce anxiety, social phobia, and low self-esteem. These techniques are practical and focused on real-life changes rather than long theory.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Maria will work with each person to decide which CBT techniques fit their goals and daily routine. She adapts strategies based on what the client wants to achieve and how they prefer to work, checking in regularly to adjust the plan.
Online therapy makes using these tools easier for many people. Video calls let the therapist and client talk face to face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection, quick questions between sessions, and on-the-go reminders for tasks and exercises. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on clear, usable strategies.
