About Maria
Maria O'Donnell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Maria also supports clients who want coaching around life purpose and confidence.
Her approach is practical and direct. Sessions focus on clear steps people can use between meetings. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered techniques to help people notice patterns and try small changes.
Maria pays attention to how past experiences affect present behavior. She addresses attachment issues, codependency, control struggles, and the after-effects of domestic violence or trauma. Sessions often include tracking thoughts and behaviors, practicing mindfulness, and setting short-term goals.
She also works with concerns like panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and self-love. Women’s issues and parenting stress are among the topics she helps people talk through. The work can include coaching elements to build confidence and practical coping skills.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Because she is based in Florida, licensing is listed as FL LCSW and sessions are conducted in English. Confirm current session options before booking to match logistics with your needs.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, and self-esteem concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, adjusting plans based on goals and feedback. The focus is practical: pick tools that fit daily life and measure small changes over time.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, for example by shortening commute time, fitting a session into a lunch break, or avoiding camera use when that helps them stay present. Online sessions can also make it simpler to bring coaching tasks into real routines, like practicing mindfulness between meetings. Maria uses ACT, CBT, and client-centered methods to shape sessions that work around your calendar and goals.
