About Maria
Maria Lozano helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and major life changes. She introduces calm tools and clear steps so everyday life feels easier. Maria also supports people dealing with relationship strain, family problems, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Maria is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, with 14 years of clinical experience. She blends practical talk with gentle, body-focused practices to help clients feel more grounded. Sessions are conversational and focused on small changes that add up over time.
How Maria works
Her approach pulls from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, psychodynamic thinking, and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her address immediate concerns while also looking at deeper patterns. She uses simple exercises clients can try between sessions to test what helps.
Maria pays attention to how culture and identity shape experience. She offers sessions in English and Spanish. She also brings experience supporting perinatal mood challenges and issues related to pregnancy and childbirth.
In the room she aims to be warm and direct. Maria encourages small experiments, like short breathing practices or written reflections, to create visible progress. The goal is to help people regain a sense of control and reconnect with what matters to them.
For many clients the focus becomes improving communication, reducing panic and overwhelm, and restoring energy after loss or burnout. Maria works with clients on realistic steps so daily life becomes less heavy and more manageable.

Online support options
Approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. The therapist offers understanding and reflection so people can find their own solutions and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It uses step-by-step exercises that translate well to remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they try approaches and adjust based on what helps most, so therapy stays practical and personal.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports short reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
