About Maria
Maria Regla is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem challenges, and major life changes. She works in English and Spanish and aims to make therapy approachable and practical for everyday life.
Maria uses a compassionate, culturally responsive style. She helps people build communication skills, manage panic and anxiety symptoms, and regain a sense of purpose. Sessions focus on clear steps a person can take between meetings to feel steadier and more capable.
Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. She draws on client-centered listening to understand each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors. Mindfulness techniques offer simple ways to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.
Maria also works with trauma-related concerns and incorporates EMDR and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when appropriate to address intense emotional responses and build coping skills. She pays attention to how culture and caregiving roles shape stress, and she helps people untangle guilt, shame, and isolation.
People meet her for short-term, goal-focused work or for longer support through transitions like divorce, postpartum adjustment, or career change. She emphasizes practical communication strategies and exercises to practice between sessions. Those interested in starting a match complete a brief questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
