Maria Reymundo, LCSW, LICSW

Maria Reymundo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, LICSW) who emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered approach. She encourages people to take the first step toward change and works alongside them to set clear, manageable goals. Sessions focus on building practical skills and drawing on a person’s strengths to handle stress and anxiety.

She uses a mix of approaches to tailor care to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. Mindfulness methods support grounding and present-moment noticing.

Maria has a Master’s in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago and ten years of direct clinical experience. Her background includes work in inpatient psychiatry, addiction treatment, community mental health, internal medicine, and a university counseling center. That variety informs how she adapts strategies for different life situations.

Her practice includes support for depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. Additional focuses include attachment issues, body image, and multicultural concerns. She also addresses seasonal affective disorder and mood-related challenges.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, Maria has experience with multicultural populations in and outside the United States. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and invites people who are ready to start change to take the next step.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people feel heard so they can steer their own change; this approach helps when stress or relationship concerns make decision-making hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into small steps to practice new skills between sessions, which can directly target anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping when life feels overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative and adjusts over time based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity of care when life changes make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote settings, and the therapist will help decide which methods to emphasize based on practical needs and goals.
