About Maria
Maria Dally is a licensed master social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She offers straightforward support to build coping skills and greater self-compassion. Conversations are practical and aimed at small, usable steps that fit a busy life.
She draws on several therapy styles to match what a person needs in the moment. That can mean using tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thinking, practicing acceptance skills to tolerate hard emotions, or looking at attachment patterns that affect relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on concrete changes the client can try between meetings. Maria has four years of clinical experience and has worked in community mental health settings both in person and online. Her background includes helping parents and addressing trauma-related concerns with young people.
She brings attention to cultural context and practical needs when planning care. Clients can expect a warm, down-to-earth approach that emphasizes resilience and problem-solving. Maria likes to work collaboratively to set goals and track small wins.
She also supports people through grief, burnout, ADHD-related struggles, mood concerns, and issues connected to adoption, immigration, or family stress. Outside of work she enjoys crocheting, puzzles, cooking, and walks with loved ones. She speaks English and Spanish and practices from Michigan as an LMSW.

Approaches that fit online parenting and life work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for parenting stress, anxiety, and managing life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. It often helps with sleep, panic, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions and can guide changes in how people connect with others and manage family dynamics.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can shift over time as new challenges or wins appear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible ways to stay connected. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules, work breaks, and other busy routines.
