About Maria
Maria "Mali" Jimenez is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship wounds, and trauma. She works with stress, grief, addictive behaviors, self-esteem and intimacy issues. Mali also supports people facing parenting strain, career transitions, eating or sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.
She uses a calm, direct style in sessions. Mali encourages clients to notice thoughts, emotions, and bodily reactions. She blends mindfulness-based somatic work with practical skills so people can respond differently in daily life.
Mali combines cognitive behavioral ideas with psychodynamic thinking. That means she helps clients change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while also looking at family patterns and early attachment wounds. She pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions.
Her approach is collaborative. Clients set the pace and goals while Mali offers questions, reflections, and exercises to test new ways of being. She invites people to try small experiments between sessions to build confidence and skill.
Mali holds LCSW, CSW, and LICSW credentials and practices in Colorado. She has seven years of clinical experience working in nonprofit, hospital, and private practice settings. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Maria combines Mindfulness Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit different needs. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without reacting quickly, which can reduce overwhelm and improve focus. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns, useful for people struggling with trust, abandonment, or repeated relationship problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and short experiments.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. Mali treats the selection of approaches as collaborative. She listens to a person's goals and preferences, then adjusts techniques and homework to match what the person wants to change and how they like to work.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making attendance easier around work or parenting schedules. Many people find that using mindfulness practices and CBT exercises between sessions helps transfer progress into daily routines, while attachment-focused conversations can shift long-term relationship patterns.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
