About Maria
Maria Valtierra, LPC, supports people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ruled by intense emotions. She works with individuals facing stress, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship concerns. Maria speaks English and Spanish and brings 12 years of counseling experience in Arizona to each session.
Maria keeps sessions warm and interactive. She listens first, then helps people set clear, manageable goals. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small steps that can lead to real change.
Background and approach
Her approach blends practical tools and mindful awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques help people slow down strong feelings and respond more calmly.
Motivational Interviewing and Client-Centered Therapy guide how she talks with clients. These methods help people find their own reasons to change and shape plans that fit their life. Maria adapts sessions to each person’s needs and pace.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Maria blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in a way that focuses on day-to-day changes. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and mood disorders. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build awareness of emotions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to shape how conversations unfold. That approach puts the person’s goals and perspective front and center, so treatment feels collaborative and tailored. Together the therapist and client try different techniques and adjust what they do based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are helpful for deeper conversations when face-to-face interaction matters. Phone sessions can fit a quieter hour or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit sessions into a busy life.
