About Maria
Maria Cipriani is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience. Maria has focused much of that time on stress, anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, relationships, and trauma and abuse. She communicates directly and plainly about what she does in sessions, and she aims to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by their emotions and relationships.
In session Maria listens for patterns that keep someone feeling responsible for other people at their own expense. She helps people notice the behavior that shows up around stress, caregiving, codependency, and intimacy issues. Conversations are practical and concrete. Clients leave with clearer ways to set limits, name needs, and respond differently to strong feelings.
Maria draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, grief, and depression. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how past relationships shape current reactions. Work often includes building skills for managing anxiety and reducing the impact of shame and guilt.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Clients review goals and try experiments between sessions to test new ways of relating. Progress is tracked in small steps that can fit into everyday life.
Maria sees adults in New York and accepts international clients. Sessions are conducted in English. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and relationship patterns. For trauma and post-traumatic stress she focuses on grounding, stabilization, and processing that reduce how much past events interrupt daily life. This work helps when flashbacks, avoidance, or strong emotional reactions get in the way of everyday tasks.She pays attention to attachment-related patterns and codependency. That approach looks at how early or past relationships shape current behaviors, and it teaches concrete ways to set boundaries and make requests without losing connection. These techniques are helpful for people who struggle with people-pleasing, over-responsibility, or repeated intimacy problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they check what helps and adjust as they go.
Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins during a break at work or while traveling. They can also reduce the need for being on camera for every meeting, depending on what the therapist and client agree will work best.
