About Maria

Maria Grimshaw-Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 34 years of experience who helps people turn emotional pain into opportunities for growth. She works with individuals, couples, and families to address anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, anger, bipolar concerns, self-esteem, and a wide range of family and interpersonal challenges. Her approach focuses on replacing outdated coping strategies with more effective, insightful methods that foster new connections and healthier ways of thinking and relating.

Her professional training spans family mental health, Systems Theory, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and Zen meditation. Those varied influences inform a practical, attuned style that supports moment-to-moment change as well as longer term growth. As an LCSW Maria combines clinical skills with an emphasis on empathy and collaboration to help people build coping tools that fit their lives.

Over more than three decades Maria has supported many meaningful breakthroughs and “aha” moments with individuals, couples, and families. Prospective clients are invited to review her calendar to book an appointment, and she is willing to consider alternative times by message if a needed slot is not visible.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, allowing people to explore their concerns at their own pace while the therapist supports self-directed growth and stronger self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people manage strong emotional reactions and improve relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adapt the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure the chosen approach supports meaningful, sustainable change.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow ongoing support without travel, and make it easier to receive consistent care from licensed professionals when life is busy or circumstances change.
