About Maria

Maria Capehart is a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with five years of experience in the mental health field. She has provided counseling to a diverse range of adults and couples, including members of the LGBT community, minority groups, and immigrant populations, and has experience addressing co-occurring mental health disorders. Her clinical work has included treatment for mood disorders, depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, emotion regulation, life transitions, immigration stressors, identity issues, and trauma.

Her therapeutic stance is integrative, drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, she frames clients as experts in their own lives and serves as a guide to help them build confidence, strengthen self-esteem, reshape unhelpful beliefs, and learn practical skills to manage stressors and symptoms associated with co-occurring conditions. She emphasizes collaborative exploration of internal and external resources to support a more balanced and healthy lifestyle.

Maria communicates fluently in English and Spanish and brings a culturally aware perspective to work with individuals and couples facing a wide array of emotional, relational, and behavioral concerns. Her background emphasizes both symptom management and skill-building to support long-term well-being.

Approaches and Online Support from a Licensed Therapist

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and support. This approach helps people who need to clarify values, strengthen self-worth, or navigate identity and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and develop coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, which can be especially helpful with addictions, behavior change, and readiness to pursue new goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and the therapist will collaborate with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so treatment stays aligned with progress and changing circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to access care from different locations. For many people, these options increase consistency and make it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions while working with licensed professionals and therapists toward meaningful change.
