Maria Lozano, LCSW

Maria Lozano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience helping people navigate significant life transitions, trauma, and relationship challenges. She brings together clinical training and a commitment to reproductive health justice, serving in a dual role that also includes work as a postpartum doula to support new parents through the emotional complexity of childbirth and early parenthood.

Maria works with individuals and families facing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, perinatal mood concerns, domestic violence, grief, ADHD, immigration-related separation, and the strains of family dynamics. Her practice emphasizes empowerment and reconnection to personal strengths, offering a blend of therapeutic techniques informed by somatic methods, cognitive behavioral approaches, trauma-focused work, and motivational interviewing. She also integrates holistic practices such as yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and the thoughtful use of herbal supports when appropriate.

Known for a warm and compassionate style, Maria values empathy and the healing potential of humor alongside tears. Her approach centers on holding space for clients as they rebuild resilience, clarify goals, and reclaim emotional wellbeing. She provides therapy in both English and Spanish and aims to create an accessible, culturally informed environment for people seeking change and recovery.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client as the expert in their own life, offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where personal values and goals guide the work. This approach can help with building self-esteem, addressing relationship concerns, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of difficult emotions through practices like breath work and meditation, which can support regulation of mood and reduction of reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Maria collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore techniques and tools, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so the work feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Maria is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options that fit busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and to continue therapeutic work through transitions, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints.
