About Maria
Maria O'Donnell is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Maria speaks plainly and offers steady support for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Maria treats each person as the expert on their life. She starts by listening closely to what matters most and what feels hard right now. Sessions aim to build practical skills and small changes that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
She encourages strengths people already have and helps them use those strengths to cope. Her approach blends evidence-based techniques and empathetic listening. That mix helps with panic, post-traumatic stress, codependency, control issues, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Maria also supports people wrestling with forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love. In sessions she uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - which focuses on values and action - and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - which looks at thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of how she helps people find momentum and calm.
Maria has three years of professional experience and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW. She works with adults in English and offers several online session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values. It helps when anxiety, avoidance, or uncertainty block forward movement. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior to reduce symptoms like panic and persistent worry. It uses practical exercises and homework to build new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps identify which tools feel most useful for day-to-day life.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send short updates, try coping tools between sessions, and keep momentum when scheduling a full call is difficult. These options give flexibility so therapy can match your routine and pace.
