AAbout
About Maria
Maria Sanchez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with four years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or depression and those coping with major life changes.
Maria focuses on practical conversations that address day-to-day pressures. She listens to what is happening now and helps clients sort priorities and manageable next steps. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at reducing what feels most urgent in a person’s life.
Her work also pays attention to aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver strain, and challenges tied to chronic pain, illness, or disability. Maria notices how health issues and caregiving roles can affect mood and daily routines, and she helps clients find ways to adjust expectations and supports.
Topics such as co-morbidity, forgiveness, life purpose, and building self-love are included in her practice. Conversations cover practical coping skills, pacing change, and deciding which values matter most when making choices.
Maria offers sessions in English and Spanish. The initial step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Maria works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes skill-building for stress and anxiety management, teaching breathing, pacing, and behavioral steps to reduce immediate distress. These skills are useful when everyday pressures make it hard to concentrate or sleep.A second approach looks at mood and behavior patterns tied to depression and co-morbidity. This involves noticing small routines, adjusting daily habits, and testing changes to see what improves energy and motivation. That method helps with low mood linked to health problems or caregiving burdens.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will review your goals, try techniques that fit your situation, and adjust the plan as you go. The process is based on what feels helpful and practical for daily life rather than sticking to a single method.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting visits into work or caregiving schedules, reducing travel time, and allowing check-ins from different locations. If you need shorter check-ins, help scheduling around medical appointments, or sessions in Spanish, discuss those preferences when you sign up.
