About Maria
Maria Lozano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. She also supports clients facing relationship and family challenges, self-esteem concerns, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Maria speaks English and Spanish and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work.
Her approach is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions often include mindfulness and breath awareness alongside practical tools. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused steps so people leave with something they can try between meetings.
Maria draws on psychodynamic thinking and somatic awareness to help people understand how past family dynamics and body sensations shape current patterns. She pays attention to multicultural context and to how life events like pregnancy, postpartum changes, or migration affect mood and identity.
Clients can expect a calm and compassionate presence that allows space for emotion and for occasional humor. Maria describes tears as part of healing and offers gentle, tangible strategies such as grounding, simple movement, and paced breathing to reduce overwhelm.
Her work often centers on rebuilding agency after domestic violence, family separation, or loss. She helps people reconnect with self-love and practical coping skills so they can move forward at their own pace.
How mindfulness and practical therapy fit online
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice their thoughts, breath, and body without judgment; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with intense emotions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and reflecting your experience so you can find your own direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with mood, worry, and coping during life changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on goals, needs, and preferences. You can expect adjustments over time as the focus shifts from coping to insight to practical change.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are conducted. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on hectic days. Some formats also make it easier to have sessions without being on camera or to schedule around work and childcare. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when you set up your first session so they match your daily routine and needs.
