About Maria
Maria Lozano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, self esteem, and compassion fatigue. Maria works in both English and Spanish and brings practical, everyday skills to sessions.
She describes a practical style that blends talking, skill building, and attention to physical responses in the body. Sessions often include straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness exercises to reduce worry and manage mood. Maria also uses client-centered and solution-focused techniques to help people set concrete next steps and notice what already helps them cope.
Her background includes long experience in mental health and social services with attention to family of origin issues, postpartum and perinatal mood concerns, domestic violence, and multicultural stressors. Maria draws on somatic ideas to help people whose emotions show up in their bodies, such as chronic tension or somatic symptoms.
In a session she listens for patterns in relationships and daily life, then works with the person to test simple changes. That might mean practicing a short breathing exercise, trying a new communication script, or planning one small behavioral experiment between appointments.
People who come for help with parenting strain, family conflict, or the aftermath of loss will find straightforward support aimed at clearer thinking and steadier daily routines. Maria frames the work as collaborative; she helps people identify small, do-able changes that fit their lives.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Maria often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different responses, and track small behavior changes that improve mood. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and stress related to family life.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple breathing and grounding practices that reduce overwhelm and physical tension. Mindfulness helps when emotions feel intense or when stress shows up as bodily symptoms. Maria combines these with client-centered listening so the work reflects each person's values and immediate concerns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She will work with the person to decide which tools fit best based on goals, daily routines, and what feels manageable. That means trying a method, checking how it worked, and adjusting the plan together.
