Maria Isaza

Maria Isaza is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people navigate life transitions and everyday stresses. She listens closely and helps people sort through feelings when motivation, self-esteem, or confidence feel low. Her approach is straightforward and calm, aimed at making it easier to take the next step.

Maria creates an open, nonjudgmental space for people to share thoughts and emotions. She uses practical tools to help people recognize unhelpful thinking and try different ways of coping. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with an emphasis on small changes that add up over time.

Her work often addresses anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, workplace strain, and the fatigue that comes from caring for others. She also supports people dealing with forgiveness, self-love, sexuality questions, social anxiety and phobia, women's issues, and challenges common to young adults.

Maria uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a method that links thoughts, feelings, and actions to create workable strategies for change. With three years of post-licensure experience as an LCSW, she draws on concrete techniques and practical steps rather than abstract theory.

Sessions are available in English and Spanish. People who want to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

How CBT and collaborative care fit online sessions

Maria uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thought that feed stress and anxiety and then practice different responses. CBT works well for problems like low self-esteem, social anxiety, worry, and coping with life changes by breaking problems into manageable steps and testing new behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which techniques to try first. That collaborative process helps tailor tools to what actually fits someone's daily life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins on days when a shorter meeting helps. Licensed professionals can use structured exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments as part of online sessions to practice skills between meetings.
