About Maribel
Maribel Bravo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 10 years of professional experience. She focuses on family concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem struggles. Sessions are conducted in English.
Her approach centers on practical work you can use between sessions. She treats conversations as problem-solving time. She helps people sort communication problems, attachment concerns, guilt and shame, and lingering effects of trauma. Maribel pays attention to everyday pressures like work, money, and caregiving responsibilities when planning next steps.
Maribel values the client’s perspective and builds on existing strengths. She listens for what is already working and helps people expand those skills. That can mean practicing new ways to set boundaries, repair communication, or manage anxiety in stressful moments.
She also helps people with forgiveness, isolation or loneliness, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Therapy includes clear, manageable tasks to try between meetings and regular discussion of what is or isn’t helping.

BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Maribel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and trauma. One common approach involves working on communication and attachment patterns by identifying recurring interactions and practicing small changes. This helps when arguments repeat or people feel disconnected. Another approach focuses on trauma-informed care that addresses the lingering effects of abuse or post-traumatic stress by pacing work to what the person can manage and using grounding skills to reduce overwhelm.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and the therapist choose techniques together so the work fits day-to-day life and specific concerns.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand them. It can also let someone pick quieter surroundings and avoid a commute. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
