About Maria

She supports adults facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Beginning therapy often requires courage, and Maria acknowledges the step of seeking support as an important part of change.

Those who choose to work with Maria can expect a collaborative approach that focuses on practical progress and personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Maria O'Donnell uses several evidence-based approaches to support clients in an online format. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it emphasizes choosing actions that align with personal values - useful for stress, anxiety, and finding life direction. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing empathic, nonjudgmental listening so clients can explore their experiences and build self-trust; this approach supports work on self-esteem, relationships, and healing from trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be helpful for panic, anxiety, and managing day-to-day stressors.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the therapy process, and Maria collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online therapy with Maria is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for clients to access support from home or work, maintain continuity during busy periods, and choose the communication style that feels most effective for them.
