Dr. Maria Humphrey

Dr. Maria Humphrey welcomes people who are dealing with major shifts and everyday strain. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Dr. Humphrey is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist with 10 years of experience and speaks English and Spanish.

She keeps sessions simple and practical. Conversations aim to name what feels hardest and find small steps that help. People often work on clearer communication, better routines, or ways to reduce overwhelming thinking so daily life feels more manageable.

Her style centers on the person in front of her. Client-Centered Therapy guides the process so the client’s priorities lead each session. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and build immediate, usable changes.

Dr. Humphrey uses elements of psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches when helpful, especially to understand patterns that repeat across relationships or to address past events that still affect current mood and behavior. She aims to blend insight with practical tools so people leave with both understanding and a plan.

Many clients come for support around caregiving stress, aging and geriatric concerns, cancer or end-of-life matters, immigration issues, or feelings of isolation. She also helps people working through divorce, communication problems, guilt, and questions about life purpose. The goal is steady progress toward greater resilience and self-compassion.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s goals and experiences at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, follows the client’s lead, and helps clarify what matters most in daily life. This approach often helps people who need a trusting space to talk through change and anxiety.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on creating small, practical steps toward clear goals. Sessions often include identifying what’s already working and building brief experiments to test new habits. This can be helpful for stress management, improving routines, and tackling specific problems like communication breakdowns.

Dr. Humphrey will work together with each person to find the best mix of approaches. Choosing what to use is a collaborative process based on the client’s needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. She commonly blends long-view exploration with short-term plans so sessions stay relevant and useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that match a person’s schedule. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be tailored to your routine and goals so therapy fits into everyday demands.
