Maria Froilan, LMFT

Maria Froilan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with more than 15 years of professional experience. She focuses on supporting people who are managing stress, anxiety, the effects of trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and challenges with anger and life transitions. She draws on years of clinical work to help clients identify practical ways to cope and regain a sense of control.

Maria approaches each person as the expert of their own story and looks for the strengths they already bring to healing and change. She encourages small, achievable steps and partners with clients to build skills for managing overwhelming emotions and navigating difficult life changes. Taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and she acknowledges and affirms that decision as an important beginning.

Her practice emphasizes respectful collaboration, steady support, and clear, skill-based strategies to help clients move through painful experiences and toward greater stability and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Maria Froilan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it can help with symptoms of anxiety, stress, sleep disruption, and mood challenges by teaching coping skills and problem-solving techniques.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impacts of traumatic experiences. This approach involves working at a pace that feels manageable while helping clients process painful memories and reduce the ways trauma interferes with daily life and relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work she does with each client. Maria will discuss options, listen to a client’s goals and preferences, and adjust methods so the treatment fits the individual’s needs rather than expecting the person to fit a single model.

Online therapy with Maria is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and to access support from home or other convenient locations.
