About Maria
Maria Luna is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma. She offers a calm, straightforward presence in sessions and uses practical tools to address everyday problems. Maria holds a Licensed Master Social Worker credential and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and practices in Wisconsin.
She favors approaches that combine present-focused skills with values-driven work. That means people learn ways to notice unhelpful thoughts, choose small actions that fit their values, and build routines that reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
Sessions often include short exercises, plain-language explanations, and take-home ideas to try between meetings. Maria has five years of clinical experience working with concerns such as depression, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and career-related stress. She also supports people dealing with family problems, communication struggles, body image issues, chronic illness, and the aftereffects of loss or abuse.
Her background includes attention to attachment and abandonment themes that show up in relationships. Her style is collaborative and steady. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people pick a few realistic goals.
Many clients focus on coping with life changes, improving self-esteem, or finding clearer direction at work. Sessions are conversational and practical. Maria uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, acceptance work, and motivational interviewing to match a person's needs.
She works with English-speaking adults in Wisconsin and does not take international clients.

Online support
Approach-driven care available online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting focus from fighting feelings to building a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses simple skill-building to spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and acting. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and improving coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps people find their own solutions; it supports emotional processing and self-esteem work.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they set small, practical goals and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows fuller interaction and visual cues while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when people want more flexible ways to share between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep regular momentum toward change.
