About Maria

Maria Alderman is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with six years of professional experience. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, creating a space where clients can explore change at a comfortable pace.

Rather than following a one-size-fits-all model, she tailors conversations and treatment plans to reflect each individual’s circumstances and goals. This collaborative style helps clients feel seen and understood while working toward greater well-being.

Maria recognizes that reaching out for support takes courage, and she positions herself as a steady, encouraging ally throughout the therapeutic process. Her practice is built on listening closely, adapting interventions to what works for each client, and supporting practical steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Integrating proven approaches with flexible online care

Maria Alderman draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding and empathy, using a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship to foster self-exploration and personal growth. CBT targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to address patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, or unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maria collaborates with each client to identify which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend appointments from home, balance therapy with daily responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to suit treatment goals and personal preferences.
