About Maria
Maria Capehart is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish and has spent her career working with adults and couples on issues like anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and trauma.
She has experience supporting people facing immigration stress, identity questions, and co-occurring mental health and substance concerns. Maria works with people from LGBT and minority communities and with those managing life transitions, grief, bipolar symptoms, and problems with emotion regulation.
Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and build on their own knowledge and strengths. She guides people to challenge unhelpful beliefs and learn practical skills for managing stress and cravings.
Maria helps clients name and develop internal and external resources. That can mean practicing new ways to set limits, learn communication skills, or manage impulses. She also supports people working through codependency patterns like people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing themselves in relationships.
Sessions are aimed at building confidence and clearer choices rather than quick fixes. The therapist and client work together to set goals and try tools that fit daily life. To start, clients pick a matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to see if the approach feels right.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Maria uses Client-Centered Therapy to center the person's perspective and priorities. That approach focuses on active listening, clarifying what matters, and supporting the person's own decisions. It can help with low self-esteem, relationship patterns, and deciding next steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT provides practical exercises and skills for anxiety, depression, codependency patterns, and managing mood or impulses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what the client finds helpful. That collaborative process helps match tools to daily life and specific problems.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist during the first meeting about how sessions will be scheduled and what will best fit work, family, or caregiving responsibilities.
