About Maria
Maria "Mali" Jimenez is a licensed clinical social worker holding LCSW in Colorado and LICSW in Washington DC with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and challenges like body image, parenting strain, and career stress.
She uses straightforward, skills-based work alongside deeper exploration of patterns that started earlier in life. Sessions include practical tools for managing symptoms and attention to how past relationships shape current reactions. Mali often integrates mindfulness and somatic awareness so people can notice thoughts and bodily responses in real time.
Her approach pulls together Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with psychodynamic ideas about attachment and family of origin influences. That means she helps people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while also looking at their attachment history and recurring relationship patterns. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants clearer steps to change, especially around substance use or lifestyle goals.
Mali's background includes work in nonprofit and hospital settings as well as private practice. She offers therapy in English and Spanish and has experience helping people with a wide range of concerns from coping with life changes to more persistent issues like bipolar mood concerns and compulsive behaviors.
People who see her can expect a mix of practical skill building, reflective conversation about family and attachment themes, and exercises that bring attention to emotions in the body. To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy helps track how early relationships affect current connections. Online sessions can look at recurring patterns and practice different ways of relating in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It gives concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and preferences and agree on strategies to try. That could mean starting with CBT skills, then adding attachment-focused work or motivational interviewing for change-oriented goals.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also allows continued momentum between office visits when life gets hectic. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to an online setting so the work remains practical and focused on daily life.
