About Maria

Maria Molano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse. She also addresses problems such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, communication breakdowns, and infidelity.

Maria uses direct conversation to identify practical steps people can try between sessions. She draws on cognitive and emotion-focused ideas to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions are interactive and focus on day-to-day problems, not labels.

Her background includes several years in clinical practice supporting people with mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and struggles related to isolation or shame. Maria has worked with survivors of emotional abuse and domestic violence and helps clients sort what happened and how it affects current choices.

In sessions she pays attention to how relationships, family roles, and past attachment experiences shape current behavior. She helps people develop clearer communication, set boundaries, and manage strong emotions in practical ways. Her work addresses both immediate coping and longer-term patterns.

Practical matters like balancing work and family, housing and money stress, and everyday functioning are part of the conversation. Maria explains options plainly and works with clients to pick steps they can try between appointments. This profile presents services in Florida and sessions are conducted in English.

BHow sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Maria draws on cognitive-style techniques that help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. These methods break problems into small, testable steps and are useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns. She also uses emotion-focused ideas to help name and regulate strong feelings, which can be helpful after trauma or during intense conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend which strategies to try first. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since this profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, and family responsibilities. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and sessions without video when bandwidth or comfort make that preferable. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication to work well in an online setting.
