Maria Concepcion, LMHC

Maria Concepcion is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of clinical experience. She creates a relaxed, conversational atmosphere so people can speak openly. Her manner is compassionate and direct, and she aims to give clear guidance toward practical goals.

She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, coping with life changes, and struggles with addiction or codependency. Clients come for help with sleep, eating, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and other life problems.

Maria uses straightforward tools drawn mainly from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. She asks clients to take an active role between sessions, using messaging and short exercises to track thoughts and behaviors. That homework is part of a step-by-step plan aimed at measurable change.

Attachment-based ideas and acceptance and commitment principles also shape her work when relationships and values matter most. Sessions weave practical skills with reflection so people can build better coping habits and clearer priorities.

She is comfortable offering spiritual reflection when clients request it, and she frames that work around each person’s own beliefs. Maria works in English and Spanish and practices in Florida as an LMHC.

How her approaches guide online work

Maria blends cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them against real evidence to change feelings and behavior; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing unhelpful habits. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people shift those patterns to improve closeness and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, values, and daily life. That means trying strategies together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time rather than picking a single method up front.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling around work, and ongoing messaging or between-session exercises when that matches a client’s needs. Maria uses messaging and short assignments as part of therapy to help track patterns and practice new skills between meetings.
