About Maria

Maria Isaza is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people regain confidence and navigate stressful life transitions. She emphasizes building motivation and improving self-esteem while attending to common concerns such as anxiety, relationship strains, workplace challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Maria brings a supportive, nonjudgmental presence to sessions and aims to create an atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored freely. Using practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), she collaborates with clients to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop skills for coping with social anxiety, family issues, and career-related stress.

Her practice also addresses topics like forgiveness, self-love, sexuality, and women's issues with attention to each person’s goals and circumstances. Maria conducts sessions in both English and Spanish and works to tailor straightforward tools and insights to each client’s needs.

CBT-Informed Care and Remote Support

Maria practices with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps clients notice and test unhelpful thoughts and then build healthier thinking and coping habits for stress, anxiety, and social worries. This method is useful for managing symptoms tied to low self-esteem, workplace stress, and relationship tensions by providing concrete skills and behavioral experiments.

She also applies a collaborative problem-solving stance, working together with clients to set goals, try new strategies, and adjust plans based on what works. That collaborative approach helps tailor interventions to each person’s priorities and makes choosing the right techniques an evolving part of treatment rather than a one-time decision.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. Remote formats allow for regular check-ins and the ability to practice skills between meetings, making therapy more accessible to those who need adaptable scheduling and different communication styles.
