Maria Reymundo, LCSW, LICSW

Approaches that guide online parenting support

Maria uses client-centered methods to focus sessions on what matters most to the person. That approach means the therapist follows the client's priorities, asks open questions, and helps plan steps the client wants to try. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and the actions that follow them. CBT sessions often include small experiments and homework to test new behaviors and reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for managing strong emotions, improving emotional regulation, and handling interpersonal stress, which can be useful when parenting feels overwhelming. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will discuss options and collaborate on a plan based on a person's needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. She adjusts methods over time so sessions stay practical and relevant. Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants a quicker check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging can support ongoing coaching, brief check-ins, and follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and respond to parenting pressures as they come up.
