About Maria
Maria Perez is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts. She combines a straightforward, person-focused style with practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD-related struggles. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable for a worried parent.
With eight years as an LMHC, she centers sessions on the client’s experience. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions often include clear tools for handling strong emotions and improving daily routines.
Her work draws on client-centered principles that keep the conversation focused on what matters to the individual. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice new behaviors. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term, practical goals that can make a visible difference quickly.
Maria pays particular attention to parenting stress and caregiver strain, helping parents find ways to communicate, set boundaries, and recover energy. She also supports people working on forgiveness, impulsivity, and growing self-love.
Her bilingual skills allow Spanish speakers to explain their experiences in the language they prefer. The therapist encourages people to take the matching questionnaire and schedule a time to see if she is the right fit.
Approaches that inform online care
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience at the center. The therapist listens closely and follows what the client says matters most, helping people name strengths and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on thoughts and actions that maintain problems and teaches practical skills to shift them, which can help with anxiety, anger, and attention difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines and then suggest strategies that fit. That process is collaborative and may include trying a few techniques to see what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online appointments can make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day, reduce travel time, or choose a meeting style that matches energy levels and attention needs. Many people find that working with a licensed professional remotely helps them practice new skills in real life between sessions.
