Maria Lozano, LCSW

Maria Lozano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and other life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Maria uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She combines client-centered conversation with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused steps to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and build small habits that make daily life easier.

Her work often looks at family of origin issues, communication problems, domestic violence, postpartum and perinatal mood concerns, and multicultural stresses. When trauma or grief shows up, she attends to the body and emotions rather than only talking about them. That can mean grounding practices, breathing, and noticing how feelings show up in the body.

Maria aims to make sessions practical. She helps people break worries into manageable pieces, test small changes, and track what helps. Conversations are direct and focused on coping skills, problem solving, and emotional understanding.

Before a first appointment she asks about current stressors, supports, and goals so sessions can begin with clear steps. Many people come for short-term work to address a specific problem. Others use ongoing sessions to work through longer patterns over time.
