Maria Caballero, LPC

Maria Caballero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. She brings 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Maria focuses on relationship concerns and parenting struggles while aiming to create a respectful, compassionate space for each person she meets.

She uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to work on, whether that is mood symptoms, grief, sleep difficulties, or career stress. Maria pays attention to family of origin issues, multicultural concerns, and challenges related to immigration and workplace stress.

Her style centers on listening closely and tailoring the conversation and plan to each individual. She draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships and early experiences affect current patterns. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions.

Mindfulness and some skills from dialectical behavior therapy are used to manage strong emotions and build coping tools. Maria also addresses forgiveness, compassion fatigue, and life purpose when these topics come up in therapy. She offers services in English and Spanish to better serve diverse communities.

Taking the first step often feels hard, and Maria emphasizes support and practicality. Prospective clients begin by using the site process to match and schedule a session, then collaborate on goals and next steps.

How attachment, CBT, and mindfulness work online

Maria uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current behavior and feelings, helping people notice patterns that affect their close relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve sleep or emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you will try methods that fit your situation and adjust the plan as you learn what works best.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, support shorter check-ins during a work break, or be a helpful step when traveling. Licensed professionals can guide you on how to use CBT exercises, attachment-focused conversations, and mindfulness practices in sessions so they work with your daily life.
