About Maria
Maria Karayianni is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California with over 20 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who feel caught by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, or big life transitions. He also supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, and people navigating LGBT and gender-related questions.
He approaches work with respect for the person’s own story and strengths. He helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck and build practical steps toward change. Sessions are aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Maria draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviors. He also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and try small experiments that can change daily life. These approaches are used together to balance understanding with action.
Many people come for help with body image, eating and food-related issues, or the emotional impact of medical concerns such as cancer. He also addresses feelings of emptiness, isolation, hoarding behaviors, and struggles around money and life purpose.
Sessions are offered in English and Greek. To begin, a prospective client selects the continue button on this profile and completes a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to therapist availability.
