About Maria
Dr. Maria Humphrey welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or big life changes. She frames therapy as a partnership where clients can name what feels hard and take small steps toward feeling more steady. Dr. Humphrey is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist with ten years of practice, and she communicates in English and Spanish.
In sessions she uses a client-centered stance that focuses on what matters most to each person. That means listening first, reflecting what’s been said, and helping clients find their own next steps. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past, and solution-focused tools to identify quick, practical changes.
Many people come for help with compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, or coping after illness and loss. She also supports those dealing with immigration stress, isolation, grief, and the impact of disasters on everyday life. Her work often includes helping someone rebuild routine, set boundaries, and reconnect to purpose.
Sessions are paced to each person’s needs, with an emphasis on developing resilience and self-compassion. She helps people build strategies they can practice between meetings, and checks in on what is working.
Dr. Humphrey encourages straightforward conversation about goals, timelines, and what to expect from therapy. People who want to begin are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.
How her approaches guide online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs in the moment. In practice this means the therapist reflects back concerns, clarifies priorities, and helps clients set goals that feel manageable. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck.Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences influence current feelings. It can help people understand why certain reactions keep showing up and open the door to new ways of responding, which can be useful for long-standing mood or relationship concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions about pace, topics, and techniques are made collaboratively and can be adjusted over time.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and making it easier to connect when travel is difficult.
