Maria Caballero

Maria Caballero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience. She works in Virginia and speaks English and Spanish. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and career-related concerns. She often supports people coping with trauma and abuse and those facing family conflict or parenting strain. Maria listens carefully and tailors conversations to each person's needs. She uses practical tools aimed at everyday problems like sleeping difficulty, low self-esteem, and grief. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how relationships shape feelings, and on cognitive behavioral techniques that help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses mindful awareness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel overwhelming. Maria adapts methods to fit a person’s goals rather than following a rigid plan. People who come to her for career questions receive help thinking through workplace stress, job transitions, and finding meaning in work. Immigration-related challenges, multicultural concerns, and issues around prejudice and discrimination are also part of her practice. Many clients find the first step hard. Maria emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion throughout the process. She helps people set realistic goals and develop skills they can use between sessions.

How attachment, CBT, and mindfulness work online

Attachment-based work looks at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions can create space to talk about family patterns and how past bonds affect current choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. It helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and workplace stress through structured tools and homework. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus when emotions feel intense. Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs. Together you decide which strategies to use and test what helps most for the problems you bring. Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity during life transitions or while managing caregiving and work demands. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and skills so they work in an online setting and fit into everyday life.
