About Maria
Maria Capehart is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with five years of experience. She provides bilingual counseling in English and Spanish and helps adults facing mood, anxiety, and substance concerns. Maria focuses on practical support and clear steps rather than jargon.
Her sessions are collaborative and person-centered. She views each client as the expert on their life and offers guidance to build confidence and new coping skills.
Background and approach
Common topics she addresses include stress, anger, depression, anxiety, addictions, and issues tied to identity and relationships. Maria uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She draws on motivational interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel uncertain.
Trauma-focused work helps when past events keep affecting day-to-day life. She also helps people facing career decisions, parenting strain, immigration-related stress, and loneliness or isolation. Maria pays attention to co-occurring concerns like codependency, impulse control, and food or substance-related problems.
Sessions aim to teach skills that fit into everyday routines. Clients can expect straightforward talk, practical tools, and collaborative planning. Maria helps identify both internal strengths and outside resources to build a steadier life.
She welcomes conversations in English or Spanish and works with typical life adjustments as people try to move forward.

Approaches that guide online counseling sessions
Maria uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify patterns of thinking that lead to distress and then practice new, more helpful responses. CBT is useful for worries, low mood, anger, and habits people want to change.She also uses motivational interviewing to support clients who feel stuck or unsure about change. This approach focuses on exploring goals and building internal motivation so people feel ready to take action.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Maria works with clients to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjusts over time as progress and priorities shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is suited to longer sessions and deeper work, phone can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth situations, live chat allows shorter real-time conversations, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
