About Maricruz
Maricruz Valdez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people who want clearer direction, better coping skills, and healthier reactions to stress and anger. Maricruz speaks English and Spanish and uses straightforward, respectful language in sessions.
She meets clients who bring concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, and anger. She also supports people facing attachment wounds, abandonment, body image struggles, and obsessive or compulsive thoughts.
Background and approach
Her practice covers many everyday life pressures, including money problems and questions about life purpose. Maricruz draws on Client-Centered approaches to make people feel heard and accepted. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift patterns that feed anxiety or angry reactions.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox for building steady habits and clearer goals. Sessions can include short-term skill building or deeper personal work, depending on the person’s needs. She adapts methods to the individual rather than using a single formula.
People can expect a direct, compassionate style that focuses on practical steps and lasting change. Her background includes both individual and group work across age ranges. The practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and personal meaning while helping clients develop new ways to manage feelings and handle difficult situations.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. Online sessions let Maricruz reflect what people say and help them feel accepted even when they check in from different locations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches step-by-step tools to change them. In virtual sessions she guides practical exercises, homework, and real-time rethinking of unhelpful thought patterns.Choosing an approach is a team decision. She will talk with the person about goals, test a method for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps most. This collaborative process means the plan can shift as issues like anger, anxiety, or relationship concerns become clearer.
Online therapy offers several convenient formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is low, live chat for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging for brief updates or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, manage short check-ins, or practice skills between sessions while keeping continuity of care with licensed professionals.
