About Maria
Maria Reymundo is a licensed clinical social worker who blends client-centered care with practical strategies. She uses clear, skills-based work to help people reduce stress and manage strong emotions like anger. Maria speaks English and Spanish and brings ten years of hands-on clinical experience to her sessions.
She emphasizes a collaborative relationship. Clients set goals and Maria helps break those goals into small, usable steps. Sessions often include learning breathing and grounding skills, practicing balanced thinking, and trying out new ways to communicate when tensions rise.
Background and approach
Maria trained at Loyola University Chicago where she earned a Master of Social Work. She has treated people in inpatient psychiatry, addiction treatment centers, university counseling, community mental health, and internal medicine settings. This range gave her experience with depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustment challenges, and mood disorders.
Her approach is trauma-informed and strength-based. That means she looks for what is already working and builds on those strengths while paying attention to how past hurts affect current reactions. She also uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help manage upsetting thoughts and sensations.
Maria is comfortable working with concerns such as relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, grief, addictions, parenting and family problems, body image, and multicultural stressors. She aims to create a straightforward plan so people leave sessions with something to try between visits. For Spanish speakers or anyone wanting a bilingual clinician, Maria provides services in both English and Spanish.
Her style is steady, practical, and focused on helping people take the next step forward.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Maria often uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and building a trusting, collaborative relationship. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and decide on personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce distress; it is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and mood management.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Maria will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they try approaches and adjust the plan based on what works, making changes along the way if needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for busy schedules. Video lets therapists and clients use visual cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for quick check-ins. Live chat or messaging supports brief check-ins, mood tracking, and between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work or family routines while still focusing on concrete skills and progress.
