About Maria
Maria Roman is a Connecticut-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with five years of experience helping people manage depression, relationship strain, trauma and major life changes. She works with individuals who feel stuck, unsure about their next steps, or are trying to rebuild after a breakup or loss.
Maria focuses on practical steps to improve day-to-day functioning. She talks with clients about communication skills, boundaries, and ways to reduce shame and isolation. She also addresses body image, self-esteem, and feelings tied to abandonment.
Her approach includes attention to spiritual values for clients who want that included. She offers a Christ-centered model when requested and respects a client’s religious perspective while addressing emotional concerns. Sessions look at how beliefs, habits, and relationships shape mood and decisions.
Maria helps people move through grief from divorce or separation and supports those coping with big life transitions. She works on building resilience, managing mood disorders, and improving connection with others. Practical coping skills are a regular part of sessions.
She speaks English and Spanish. People who are interested in starting work with her are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Many of the evidence-based techniques Maria uses focus on skills, thinking patterns, and emotional processing. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Trauma-informed methods help people process past hurts at a pace that feels manageable and reduce triggers that get in the way of daily life.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before recommending an approach. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone keep working with a licensed professional while managing life changes or scheduling constraints.
