Attachment, CBT, and Mindfulness Online

Maria ("Mali") Jimenez uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people improve connection, trust, and intimacy in their relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle attention to bodily sensations and emotions, supporting regulation and greater self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jimenez works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She invites clients to take the lead while offering guidance, skill-building, and thoughtful challenge to support meaningful change.

Online therapy with Jimenez is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels.
