About Maria
Maria Luna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Wisconsin and has five years of experience working with adults on everyday life stresses. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, compassion fatigue, LGBT concerns, self-esteem problems, career strain, and changes like separation or loss.
She uses practical, evidence-based methods to help clients manage symptoms and make concrete changes. Sessions focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and addressing patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Maria also supports people dealing with ADHD, chronic illness, body image, and issues tied to aging and attachment.
Her work blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. That means sessions often include short exercises, values clarification, and step-by-step behavior changes alongside open discussion. The goal is clearer choices and manageable action plans, not academic theory.
Maria pays attention to how shame, guilt, abandonment, and family patterns affect present life. She offers coaching-style help for career decisions and practical strategies for coping with chronic pain or health limits. Discussions can cover communication habits, boundary-setting, and forgiving oneself after setbacks.
People who meet with her can expect direct talk about what’s working and what needs to change. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to set goals and plan next steps.
BHow sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, depression, grief, and making choices that fit what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses short exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to try first based on goals, daily life, and what feels workable. That collaborative step means trying concrete tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans over time.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use mindfulness exercises and behavior-change tools between appointments so therapy connects more directly to day-to-day life.
