Maria Concepcion, LMHC

Maria Concepcion is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of experience. She aims to make sessions feel relaxed and conversational, like talking with a friend. She focuses on clear, direct support while helping people set and reach mental health goals.

She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also helps those coping with substance use in loved ones and patterns of codependency. Her practice includes attention to thoughts and everyday habits that shape feelings and actions.

Her approach emphasizes practical tools and active participation. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, asking clients to try exercises, use messaging between sessions, and complete brief assignments to spot thought patterns. This helps people see how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, and gives steps to change them.

Maria balances compassion with direct guidance. She will collaborate with each person to build a personalized plan that fits their goals. She also brings experience in offering spiritual reflection when clients wish to include faith in their growth.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are based in Florida. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching process and schedule according to availability. Maria aims to be practical, steady, and engaged while helping people make real changes in daily life.

Approaches that guide online work

Maria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits that drive feelings and behavior. CBT often involves short exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can be useful for people coping with ongoing stress, life changes, or patterns they want to alter.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean blending techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is tracked.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a break, or letting people choose whether to be on camera. Licensed professionals can use messaging between sessions and brief exercises that support work done in real time, which aligns with Maria's active, homework-focused style.
