About Maria
Maria Luna is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of clinical experience in Wisconsin. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, LGBT concerns, family and self-esteem issues. Maria also supports people facing career strain, coping with life changes, coaching needs, and ADHD-related challenges.
Her approach uses concrete, evidence-based methods. Sessions include clear talk about what is causing strain at home and practical steps to reduce it. She combines acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive tools and mindfulness to help people manage intense feelings and stay aligned with their values.
Clients often bring concerns tied to relationships and caregiving. Maria addresses family problems, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation issues, and the ongoing stress of parenting duties. She also works with abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness, codependency, and forgiveness struggles.
Her background includes work with grief, shame, and the emotional load of chronic pain or illness. Maria integrates motivational interviewing when people want to change habits or make difficult life decisions. Her sessions are straightforward and focused on what people can try between meetings.
People meet her for support when work and home feel overwhelming, or when old hurts make daily life harder. The emphasis is on practical strategies, clearer communication, and small steps that fit into a busy household schedule.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and learning ways to accept difficult feelings while still taking action that matters. It can help when stress or parenting burdens make it hard to stick to priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and provides practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depressed mood. It suits problems like sleep disruption, overwhelm, and low mood that affect daily family life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time. Expect a collaborative process where techniques are tested and refined based on what helps you between sessions.
Confirm the current session delivery options before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy household calendar. It also allows for shorter check-ins when time is limited, audio-only meetings when bandwidth is low, or video sessions when face-to-face conversation is helpful. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and exercises so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, and other daily responsibilities.
