Maria Reymundo , LCSW, LICSW

Maria Reymundo is a licensed clinical social worker who guides people through meaningful change by combining collaborative care with practical skill-building. She emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for growth and recovery, inviting clients to take an active role in designing their own path forward. Drawing from an eclectic, strength-based, trauma-informed framework, she tailors treatment to each person’s needs and focuses on equipping clients with skills that make therapy goals attainable.

Reymundo earned a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago and has ten years of direct clinical experience. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials, both of which are licenses for clinical social work that authorize independent practice. Her clinical background spans inpatient psychiatry, community mental health, internal medicine, addiction treatment centers, and a university counseling center, and she has worked with clients ranging from adolescents to older adults. Much of her experience centers on depressive, anxiety, trauma, and adjustment disorders.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, she brings cultural sensitivity and experience with multicultural populations both within and outside the United States. Reymundo welcomes individuals who are ready to begin a process of change and offers a collaborative therapeutic approach that centers the client’s values and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Maria Reymundo integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a strong therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and empowered to set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when clients need tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Reymundo collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together the therapist and client assess progress and adjust strategies to keep work practical and goal-oriented.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to continue care across distances. Licensed professionals can deliver the same core therapeutic skills remotely, allowing clients to engage in regular treatment, practice new strategies between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when in-person options are limited.
