About Maria
Maria Holmes is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience. She practices in Utah and helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and questions about self-esteem and confidence.
She focuses on listening first and shaping the work around each person's needs. Sessions are built on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Maria aims to make the first steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Her background includes long experience supporting people through life transitions and losses. She draws on practical methods to address anxiety, motivation, and patterns that get in the way of feeling competent and connected.
In sessions she favors clear conversation and collaborative planning. That means talking through current problems, trying small changes, and noticing what helps in daily life. She adapts pace and tools based on what each person finds useful.
Maria also pays attention to issues that often sit alongside core concerns, such as family of origin dynamics, codependency, illness and aging, and feelings tied to guilt, shame, or discrimination. She works in English and Italian and shapes therapy around the individual’s goals and rhythm.
