About Maria

Maria Capehart is a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 5 years of experience in the mental health field. She provides services in both English and Spanish and works with a diverse adult and couple population, including members of the LGBT community, minority groups, and immigrants. Her clinical work has addressed co-occurring mental health conditions and a wide range of concerns such as mood disorders, depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship and parenting challenges, emotion regulation, adjustment to transitions, immigration-related stress, identity concerns, and trauma.

Maria uses an integrative counseling style that blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy. She views each person as the expert on their own life and serves as a guide to help clients build confidence, improve self-esteem, and replace old, unhelpful beliefs with more adaptive thinking and coping skills. Her approach emphasizes practical strategies for managing stressors and reducing symptoms associated with co-occurring disorders.

Working together, Maria supports clients in identifying internal and external resources to create a more balanced and healthy lifestyle. She looks forward to meeting clients and collaborating on goals to promote meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Maria integrates several evidence-informed methods to support clients in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and validation - this approach helps people explore identity, build self-esteem, and navigate life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, mood-related symptoms, and patterns that maintain stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversational style that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change - it is especially useful for addictions, readiness for change, and behavior shifts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maria works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time to find the best fit. Clients are invited to participate actively in shaping their treatment plan.

Online therapy with Maria can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or work, and access support in formats that suit individual communication styles and daily life.
