Maria Reymundo , LCSW, LICSW

Maria Reymundo is a licensed clinical social worker who brings a collaborative, strengths-focused approach to therapy. She emphasizes the therapeutic alliance as the foundation for growth and healing, working alongside each person to set goals and develop practical skills. Adapting methods from multiple therapeutic philosophies, she tailors treatment plans to meet individual needs while centering a trauma-informed, strength-based perspective.

She holds a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago and has ten years of direct clinical experience. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) - both clinical social work licenses - she has supported people across the lifespan, from adolescents to older adults. Her professional background includes roles in inpatient psychiatry, community mental health, internal medicine, addiction treatment centers, and a university counseling center.

Her clinical focus includes depressive and anxiety conditions, trauma and adjustment disorders, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, grief, parenting and family issues, and a range of mood and stress-related difficulties. Bilingual in English and Spanish, she brings cultural sensitivity and experience working with multicultural populations within and outside the United States. If a person is ready to begin a process of change, she welcomes the opportunity to join that journey and collaborate on practical steps toward healing.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify values and goals - this approach is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotions, anger, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Maria works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then integrates techniques from these models to create a personalized plan that feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when to connect - whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or text messaging. These options make it easier to maintain regular appointments around work, family, and geographic constraints, and they allow therapists and clients to focus on practical tools and progress in a format that fits daily life.
