Maria Carballo, LPC

Maria Carballo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with trauma and abuse, and address depression and low self-esteem. Maria approaches therapy as a partnership and aims to support people as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

She frames clients as experts in their own stories and highlights existing strengths that can aid change. Sessions are practical and goal-focused, with attention to what feels achievable day to day. Maria offers encouragement and clear feedback while helping people build skills for handling panic, social anxiety, and big life transitions.

Her work includes helping people process feelings of abandonment, attachment concerns, and relationship communication problems. She also supports those dealing with control issues, divorce or separation, and grief around guilt or shame. Maria helps clients explore life purpose, midlife shifts, and the process of learning self-love and forgiveness.

In sessions she tends to break down problems into manageable steps. She talks through coping strategies and concrete practices people can try between meetings. The focus is on moving from overwhelm to steady progress, one manageable change at a time.

Approaches that help with stress and anxiety

Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and panic - breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance and rebuild confidence. This approach is aimed at reducing overwhelming symptoms and increasing day-to-day functioning.

Another approach helps people process trauma and its effects on mood and relationships. It involves building safety, naming painful experiences, and practicing new ways of responding so memories and triggers have less power over daily life. This work can also address related issues such as shame, guilt, and social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to the person’s goals, try strategies in session, and adjust methods based on what fits best. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to use and how to pace the work.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep momentum between in-person appointments when that is helpful for progress.
