About Maria
Maria Caballero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and address practical problems people bring from home and work.
Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive and mindfulness tools. She draws on client-centered principles to keep conversations focused on what matters to the person in the room. That means listening, reflecting what feels important, and using strategies people can try between sessions.
Maria helps people sort through family problems and issues stemming from family of origin. She also supports those dealing with grief, life changes, workplace strain, and immigration-related stress. Her work includes attention to mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination.
When trauma or abuse is part of the story, sessions are paced to match what the client can handle. Practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy are offered to manage overwhelming feelings, sleeping problems, and day-to-day coping. Mindfulness practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and calm.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Conversations lead to a shared plan that may include short-term coping techniques and longer-term work on relationships and family patterns. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How Maria’s approaches translate to online work
Maria uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current stress and family interactions. This approach focuses on patterns of connection and distance and helps people see how those patterns show up at home.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that change behavior. CBT is practical for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and everyday coping strategies. Client-centered methods guide the conversation so the person's priorities lead the plan, and DBT skills are offered when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Deciding which approach fits best is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try different techniques in early sessions, and adjust the plan based on how the client responds. That shared process helps map short-term coping steps and longer-term work on family patterns.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone choose video or audio if being on camera is difficult. Licensed professionals can help arrange a schedule that fits around parenting and work commitments.
