About Maria
Maria Concepcion is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and those coping with life changes and addiction-related family dynamics. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
She uses clear, direct conversation rather than clinical distance. Sessions include practical tools and short exercises to change unhelpful thought patterns and emotional reactions. Clients are invited to take an active role between sessions through messaging and brief assignments that reinforce what was discussed.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a primary approach in her work, focused on identifying and restructuring thoughts that drive behaviors. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how emotions and close relationships affect patterns of interaction.
Maria describes her style as straightforward and collaborative. She integrates client-centered listening with specific skills training from CBT and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when useful. She notes that her work may include reflection on spiritual beliefs for those who want that component.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin issues. People should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
Approaches and how online sessions help
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape close relationships and repetitive interaction patterns. It helps people name hard-to-identify feelings and see how those feelings affect connection and withdrawal. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes choosing values-based actions while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and sensations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as the work progresses so methods can be adjusted based on what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking because session formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedule windows are tight. They can also let someone continue work after relocating within the same licensing area. Ask about the specific session formats offered and any technical needs when you schedule your first appointment.
