About Maricruz

Maricruz Valdez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who approaches therapy with a focus on helping people find meaning and improve their everyday lives. She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Angelo State University in December 2010 and has worked with school-age children, adolescents, adults, and couples in both individual and group therapy formats. Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring interventions to each person's unique needs.

Maricruz blends client-centered and cognitive-behavioral principles with solution-focused and faith-informed perspectives, drawing on techniques that support hope and perseverance. She aims to help clients clarify goals, build coping skills, and make practical changes that align with their values. In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and individualized care rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

She has experience addressing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships and family conflicts, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, communication and control problems, forgiveness, immigration-related concerns, infidelity and jealousy, life purpose and midlife crises, financial stress, mood disorders, and obsessive-compulsive concerns.

Maricruz seeks to create an encouraging environment where clients can explore change, build resilience, and work toward a better version of themselves.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and understanding. This approach helps people explore values, build self-awareness, and work through relationship and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related issues by teaching skills that can be practiced between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-focused awareness and simple attentional exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Maricruz works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy stays relevant and useful for the client.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other responsibilities. These modalities make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location and allow therapy to fit into varied schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
