About Maria

Maria Del Carmen Reyna is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of experience supporting adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family challenges, trauma, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

She approaches therapy from a trauma-informed, relational perspective that pays attention to how earlier experiences shape current reactions and interpersonal patterns. Her work often focuses on identifying survival strategies that once helped clients cope but now contribute to feeling stuck.

In sessions she blends practical skill-building with compassionate exploration, helping clients learn tools to calm their nervous system, manage anxiety, and make clearer choices. Maria uses evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based ideas, mindfulness practices, and strategies drawn from dialectical behavior therapy to create a flexible plan tailored to each person’s needs.

She offers services in English and Spanish and practices in California as CA LCSW 127954.

Approaches for Online Healing and Practical Change



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and build more effective coping strategies; it is often used for stress, worry, and repetitive thinking patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current connections and trust, which can be helpful for clients coping with abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports the client’s own process of self-discovery and growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist partners with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors methods - drawing on CBT, attachment work, mindfulness, or DBT skills as appropriate - to create a plan that feels like a good fit.

Online therapy with this practice uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and use tools between meetings for practice and support.
